This isn't really a proper answer, more of an observation, but I've noticed that derogatory names for women are animals of all sorts, mostly female ones (*****, cow, sow, hen, minx, vixen, etc.), OR revolve around a woman's promiscuity. There are many commonly known ones for this latter form (slag, tart, etc.) but there are scores of less well-known ones (light-o-love, rag, harlot, etc.) and many more lost to history. Whereas derogatory names for men for some reason all centre around male/female genitalia (in English-speaking countries at least!). I can't reprint them here, but I'm sure you can think of your own selection.

In a free range, i.e. in the wild or in uninhibited surroundings such as streets of Indian towns, for example, you would come across the natural reproductive behaviour of the dogs wherein more than one male dog mates with a female. Nothing wrong with that because the male dog also mates with other female dogs. So that is not morally wrong for the dogs but the trouble is when the pups arrive the female dog can't be sure which male dog is the father of which pup.
In a dog world they don't care but in the context of human beings this is quite significant because most societies are patriarchal so from the point of inheritance the man needs to know exactly who he fathered. This is jeopardised by a woman who has relations with more than one man at the same time. So she gets branded as bad and her progeny is labelled a bas**** (if it is a male child) or again a female dog(if it is a female child).
In a matriarchal society it would not matter who the father is, since the children would be known by their mothers and inherit her inheritance. So I guess, from this stem the names for a bad woman and a bad man as well!

Have ever seen a female dog in heat? What happened to the village dogs when she is in a mating mood?

Well... we call them by one name (not 'names') referring to a female dog - presuming you mean '*****'... however the derogatory term 'cow' is often also used negatively of women..... or 'mare' to mean a less attractive woman....
Also, historically many derogatory names for men were also dog based - 'dog' itself but also 'cur'.

In certain cultures and religions, mostly in the Middle East, the dog has the image of an inferior and unclean animal.

“The Bible makes it sparkling that God designed intercourse to be engaged in basically between a male and a woman and in basic terms in the association of marriage. (Genesis a million:27, 28; Leviticus 18:22; Proverbs 5:18, 19) whilst the Bible condemns fornication, that's bearing on the two gay and illicit heterosexual habit.”*—Galatians 5:19-21.
