You would definitely know when your bitch was in heat. The male might have started marking in the house and then try to mount/hump your female. Some girls take longer to come in and some are later. Friend's bitch came in at 6 months her first time. I've heard of some taking as long as 14 months before they come in. Heat will last 3 weeks. First week is a lot of swelling and bleeding. Second week the blood lightens up a great deal and this is when she will be in her prime. Last week, hardly any blood and swelling will start to go down towards the end. |
