I must admit, I had never heard of a silent heat before. I have had a look on the forums but am not sure if this could be the case as it seems impossible to tell with the naked eye. She finished her season about 3 months ago, she was still very swollen for quite some time after but went back to normal size a month ago. I will keep a close eye on her though and also discuss it with our vet in a few weeks when we take her in (unless I notice anything different in her in which case we will go sooner).

For now, we have permanently separated them, after 11 hours of not giving in we admitted defeat and placed him in kennels (I got permission from the owner first), our bitch was getting very stressed with the attention and I couldn’t leave it any longer, I was unsure, if after all the corrections, he would ever stop.

I have seen him and walked him everyday (on his own) and he actually seems a lot happier where he is. At least he can relax and be a dog there, something I don't think he was ever going to be able to do here. He is eating as well which is good as he never relaxed enough to eat anything here.

I completely agree with you sabellesmom, it was utterly rude and a very upsetting situation for all of us, he really was relentless in his efforts. I do feel guilty that we could not keep him here but still being able to see him everyday and getting to spend quality time with him has been a much better situation for all…..thanks again everyone for all your help
