Yes, it is her "cycle". The next heat was also in 2008 but it was already not allowed to cover her (because the puppies would be born in the end of 2008 ). Even if it means that in 2009 there will be NO possibility to cover her and the next litter will be in 2010 (it is just an example - she will not have any puppies in 2010)...
Anyway - if the female is changing the interval between the heats and it is smaller than 12 months there will be time when you HAVE to skip a heat without covering the female...
With Jolly it was working really nice but by Merry Bell and Ali we already have years with no possibility to cover them because of the regulations... Without any chance to get a special leniency (because the litter were not over numerous and because the females are in great condition). It is simple like this here....
