    Because the trouble with "silent heats" is you never know when the bitch first begins her cycle ... or at least it's very hard to spot ... that means (unless you're prepared to give a progesterone test to your bitch 365 days of the year) the progesterone test isn't going to help you do anything, until you actually know your bitch is in heat.
