Small dogs will tend to go into heat more frequently, as much as three or four times a year. Very large breeds, like Great Danes and St. Bernards among others, may only go into heat every twelve months. The estrus cycle usually lasts an average of three weeks, although this can vary from weeks.
It begins with swelling of the vulva and vaginal discharge and ends when all bleeding has stopped. A female may allow a male to mount her at any time during the cycle, although most not only only accept mounting later in the cycle, but actively seek it. Your dog will continue to go into heat throughout her life, although the length of time between estrus will increase as she gets older. With experience, pet owners become more adept at recognizing the onset and taking good care of their dogs during this natural life cycle.
I currently have 50 different treats that will rise and new ones arrive. They range from cows horns to bull willies. Thank you so much for the article on how to tell whether a dog was in heat. We have an almost 7 month old peke-a-poo, and I just scheduled her today to get spayed.
Tonight, I saw blood near her private area fur slightly in back of it , and I was nervous. My husband had mentioned that she was asking to go out we live in the country and walk her, she is never alone every half hour.
I noticed she was very clingy. Then I went to your site and saw the photos and they were an immense help. I was reading about the tail being moved, but was having trouble visualizing it. Your picture of that is exactly what our puppy is doing. The close up picture of the vulva was extremely helpful , as well. Thank you so much.
We have always had three dogs at a time, and have never had any go into heat before getting spayed, so the whole thing made me nervous. She is a rescue pup and adapting well! We also have an 8 year old female pekingese and a 9 year old male bichon. Once again, thank you for that great and informative article! I feel much better after reading that, and I had visited many other sites before I found yours, but none explained that as well as you. Looking for a dog I have a beagle and its a she.
Soon she will be on her season and i am looking for another beagle to breeding. I dont know where to search could you help me? That will depend on a number of variables. How old is the dog and does it have full KC pedigree papers. If she does you could contact the list of breeders of Beagles at the kennel club and ask if they have a stud dog. However, the dog should be at least two years old and have had one full season and be free of any inherited breed diseases.
Things to consider If you are thinking of breeding from your bitch, there are certain questions that you will need to ask yourself before proceeding:.

Therefore it would probably overcome any pain he has during your females season. You have a couple of options either someone else looks after the dog or bitch when she is in season or you can have a short chemical castration.
It is a injection that mimics neutering in the male and in this case it would be Tardak. There is another chemical castration called suprelorin. However the affects of this last far longer and i would not normally recommend it with a dog with joint or bone problems in these circumstances. The answer will be either one of three scenarios The seasons are almost not showing in any way and she keeps herself clean.

This had a significant impact on her socialisation so we were glad when it had finished and I could eventually sign her up for behaviour and training classes. Last week I noticed that she had a slightly swollen vulva and took her to the vet. I was told that the likelihood is that she is once again in season!
There is no discharge but male dogs on walks she is always on the lead are very attracted to her and are desperate to mount her — one even ran a long way from his owner just to get to my dog and I had to pick her up in the end as he was getting quite aggressive.
