I suggest you NOT take her out anywhere and keep her in your home and in a completely different room with a locked door in a crate away from any intact animals whether it be male(unless you're attempting to breed her) or female. If she urinates, etc outside make sure she is leashed and you are outside with her at all times.
Other intact females may attempt to fight her and intact males to impregnate her. |
The scent from a female in heat can easily be picked up by a male dog for 3 miles away......a male dog will climb a tree to get to a female in heat, and the female, if she is in the receptive period of her heat cycle, will throw him a rope or a chair to climb on to get to her!!!....keep this baby inside, away from any other male dogs, and females will have a tendency to fight among themselves....
