Hi I have a 15 month old puppy that was due to go for a schooling trial this Sunday she is chasing fine on the lure and is a fine looking well bred pup,the question is she came into season last Friday,now what’s people’s thoughts on her having a sprint trial while in season,is it likely to do any harm or will it not bother her I have no knowledge of running a bitch in season and would greatly appreciate any feed back on the subject

Rule 56 of the G.B.G.B. Rules of Racing is entitled “Bitch – In season, not to run” which cuts pretty much straight to the chase.
“A bitch may not run in any trial or race after coming in season, for a minimum period of 21 Days nor until, in the opinion of the Racecourse Veterinary Surgeon, it is fit to do so subsequently” |

Actually, you asked if it will do her any harm.
The answer is "yes, it COULD do her harm" ... when in season/milk the muscles in her back legs go soft, and over extending herself can damage them badly. |
