You don't want your young female bred at all this heat cycle, she is too young. And yes, it does last about 3 weeks. Super duper pain in the butt, but you must keep them seperated. Now I am juggling schedules so they can both have free time but not be near each other. Mark on your calendar when you notice the bleeding and then don't let them together for 3 and a half weeks to be safe. The bleeding will stop....don't think it is over then....that is when they are ready to breed. |
Sounds like we're in the same boat!!
I'm not worried about Chip climbing the baby gate - it would be hard for him and when I'm at work/sleeping, I put him in his cage and her in the bathroom with about a foot inbetween the two (bathroom and cage) so it'll be fine. I'm still amazed at how hard the boy dogs try!! Just like human men
