I believe that she is in heat now which is her 2nd heat & I really would love some input as to what are the signs, what should I do, how long to leave her with her "arranged boyfriend"  & what to do then. As you can see I'm totally stupid & would be very grateful for some insight. Thanks a lot, Dallas |
First of all welcome. The main signs to look for, she will be swollen first and then probably about 5 - 7 days maybe a day or two longer she may start to bleed a little it's more like spotting. Some dogs may not spot. This normally last for about 5 - 7 days depending on the dog. After she stops spotting she is ready to mate. When I breed Mollie I kept the male until she was no longer interested in him actually a couple days past that. She starting biting him. Then I knew she was done with him.
I hope this has helped. I know there are other members here that are a lot more knowledgeable than I am so, I'm sure you will get some great input to your question.
Good Luck. Keep us posted.
