The cycle lasts about 3 weeks...so you can start counting from the time you noticed her licking a lot. The bleeding will come next. Then when that stops (or just about stops and is lighter in color) is when she will be willing to breed. The bleeding can get quite messy ... you may want to buy disposable doggie diapers from Wal-Mart. Males will come from like a 3 mile radius....keep a CLOSE eye on her. It is a pain, but I keep mine completely seperated during this time...not even any play time together....it only takes a few seconds. |
