I also know of some bitches who don't care if they are in heat, their finishing drive are still there. So it really depends on the bitch.
But what you mentioned about that proven bitch, it could be the owners fault. The bitch's mind and body wasn't ready for battle yet. Hopefully the owner realized what he did and give her another chance.
What i usually do is roll all my showing bitches around 5-6 months after they give birth just to see where they're at. If they still have that drive, then I'll go ahead with a pre-keep(usually that pre-keep will bring her right into her next heat) if not, then ill put her weight out. If she's not ready, I'll wait longer. I have a bitch who I had to wait for a year before she started acting like she wanted to work again.
No they didn't give her another chance...their bruised egos couldn't handle it, & they labeled her a cur!!!
Thanks to EVERYONE for their honest responses...like I said I just find it an interesting subject, & already have my own thoughts but don't mind hearing different views, & experiences!
