Well All,
I have been really watching my little girl for at least a good month now as she has been showing signs of going into heat (her first one, 10 months old). And needless to say that she went into heat when I was away on vacation supporting my little sister at the Colorado State Wrestling tourney (Lauryn Bruggink, 2nd female to make it to state (So Excited!)). I left my dogs with my husband while I was away, but they were unsupervised for most of the 4 days due to his work schedule, and kept locked up together in our laundry room. The question I have for experienced breeders is: we have caught the heat and she has light pink mucus going on right now. I am now keeping them seperated when they go outside, and I have a belly band and diaper on both of them when they are together. So what I really need to know is if I caught the heat cycle early enough to prevent pregnancy (no pink mucus before I left). She hasn't been flagging for my male (6 months) nor has she let him mount her, but she has been letting him lick her occasionally today and he hasn't left her side. Any advise would be greatly apprechiated.
