Is your golden retriever neutered? My female maltese came into heat for the first time a few months ago and she drove our male golden retriever nuts! (and the rest of us I might add)Especially since he is fixed. Small breed dogs can come in to heat that young or even over a year old. And yes their behavior does change! They can be moody, mean, sweet, motherly, not eat, eat more, hump other dogs, sleep a lot, be hyperactive etc. I think it depends on the dog. They do bleed for quite a few days, but they seem to keep themselves very clean. |
