| I Have a couple of questions . How often is a dog suppose to come into heat? Is it every month like people or just every so often? And when they are in heat when should they be bred, like how many days into the heat cycle should you wait to breed one? and how long do they carry the litter before labor. Just curious as I've never been around dogs being bred. Are puppies more relaxed after they have babies or I guess I mean mature or are they just as hyper most of the time?

| I believe it is usually twice a year, but some more and some less. I'm not sure how many days into the cycle to breed. If you are planning on breeding then i suggest getting a couple of books on breeding. As for whether or not they are more mature, I believe that would depend on the individual dog. |

| Dogs can come into heat three times a year, but most come into season only once or twice. In my experience yorkies come into season every 6-8 months. This is an average not an exact. Dogs are as different as people. As far as being more relaxed, I don't think having babies do that, I think its either a maturity thing or the personality of your dog. Having babies might make them more nervous.

| Kizzy - an informative website that may answer many of your basic breeding questions...debbiejensen.com Bitches heat typically every 6-8 months, some yearly, and some even longer.

Kizzy's mom~I commend you for being responsible and wanting to learn before you breed! That is a GREAT start and you are in the right place to get alot of good pointers. Just keep your chin up! True, alot goes in to learning, but the rewards are great in the end. | |
