Martin, you could do it several ways. There is the chemical way, the surgical way, which can both be successful, or if you don't want to use those methods, you can get a very knowledgeable muscleman to manipulate her lower back. This latter method is very successful in bringing a very late cycling bitch into season. It is not foolproof, but is well worth a try, and if successful, the bitch usually comes in season within 3-4 weeks. My husband has brought in many bitches this way, and recently brought in a late cycling bitch for a GD member, and the bitch has had a nice litter of pups. I know that two bitches in particular hadn't been in season for 4 years and two and a half years respectively, and both came is season right after using this method. So good luck whichever way you go.

Recently had a bitch manipulated by Carole's Husband, and low and behold 3 weeks later she came on season. Had a nice big litter of 8 to Fernando Bale. She was about 3 months overdue from her regular season. So can highly recommend going this route if you have some1 with the knowledge on what to look for.
If you end up going the surgical path i have had a friend do it and the litter missed, or had issues. However, with your bitch being older now, time is running out. If the manipulation doesn't work, the surgical etc way might be ur only option. If it ends up causing problems it probably isn't a massive issue as she is 8yo and can just retire from the breeding barn.
