The second week is the week you breed them, the first and third week you can't breed them and they won't accept the male anyway during that time.
this is not a hard and fast rule though it is the most common schedule... each dog has it's own minor variations and you want to be sure to keep her separated for the entire 3 week period to avoid accidents.
