I am assuming that your friend has an unaltered male and also wants to breed. Proper breeding means knowing the genetic background of your dog and what lines will mesh in any particular breeding. Unless both dogs have excellent breeding behind them and are great examples of the breed AND have the right genetic mix you could be creating a genetic nightmare.

Yes, it sounds like she is in heat. You are going to have to be very careful about taking her outside. He urine will attract unaltered male dogs from miles away. You also need to watch for any infection of the uterus during her heat cycles. Pyometra can kill your female very quickly. Watch for inactivity and fever and drinking more water than usual.

Is it late to spay her
