My first question is, once she's had 2 heat cycles, can I count on the third being about the same length of time? And my other question is, Could some breeders give me input as to things I would need onhand when she goes into labor or just any advice at all, this will be my first time. Thanks to anyone with any advice! (I will need all I can get.)  |
Usually most dogs heat cycles will stay pretty regular, each dog is different so this is not always the case. As far as supplies go here is a great site that has all of your whelping supplies that you could possibly need. Just click on the whelping supplies link.

Also make sure to have your vet or an emergency vet that you can call if anything goes wrong.
