I haven't been able to accept a stud request from a stranger for one of my studs since around when I first joined the site. Often, I get no notification for a stud request and I don't see it until one actually goes through, and I see the original, 'hidden' request when I go to check the one that I actually got a notification for. When I try to accept a request, every single time, either the bitch is no longer in heat, the bitch is already pregnant, or the user no longer has breeding requests available for the month.

There's a really, really easy way to fix this. It won't allow anyone to actually accept those, but it will get rid of the frustrating, unacceptable stud requests. Rather than just sitting on a dog's page for eternity, invalid requests need to just disappear rather waiting to be accepted even though they're defunct.

Here's an example. I see a nice stud that makes good predicts with my bitch, and she's in heat, so I send a stud request. I wait and wait, and the user doesn't accept. Rather than letting her just go out of heat, I breed her to one of my studs. Instead of having the request just hang around on their side, acceptable but invalid, a bit of code should recognize it as invalid and remove it from their page, and send them a notification that the request has been retracted. Same goes for bitches going out of heat, or if someone has run out of breedings and can no longer accept. ..Or if one of the dogs involved has died, or became sick. Anything that would make a request invalid.

Thoughts?
