My Gidget is in her first heat. She is 17 months old. Okay, I'll try to make this short and to the point. I first noticed blood on July 5th, her 10th day would have been Friday the 14th. The blood is still pretty red, hasn't turned to a rust or brownish color as of yet.

She is "courting" Joey, but he does not seem interested, oh, he'll give a quick sniff then go about his business. He gets mad because Gidget won't leave him alone. She is jumping all over him and running around and will even put her rear end towards him and do some flagging. Joey is a 3 time experienced stud. Why isn't he interested? Is it because even though she's been in heat for 14 days, she's just not ready yet and he knows it?

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
