| Tinkerbell got her period!!! I need HELP!!! Tinkerbell started bleeding yesterday and it didn't seem like a whole lot but she does look swollen from down there, it seems she's bleeding a little bit more today, she is 10 months old, does this mean she is in heat? I have a 1 year old maltese and he has in the past tried to hump tinkerbell, but she never lets him, today i noticed she was the one sniffing around his private part, When Should I keep her away? Could she get pregnant on her first heat and how soon after she started her period?? Help she is my first female dog Thanks |

| Thanks, I got you now Well I had done some reading on here about females going into heat but I have no clue. I will do my best to keep them separated, they sleep in different crates so I will watch closely Thanks for the info. |

Then you'll have to make sure that they are kept in separate rooms. I've heard of dogs climbing over things and breaking legs in attempt to get to a female in Season. The odor the female emits when she's ready can be smelled to great distances.

| Diapers and belly bands ARE NOT effective birth control methods. They will take her diapers right off and hike his belly band up - sorry for the visual, but I know from personal experience. I would keep them in separate rooms for the next 3 weeks. It is definitely unadvisable to breed on the first heat. |

this is so very true. i thought a belly band and diaper would be a good form of birth control . my husband and i walked in to see kirby's band down toward his bottom.. he was tied to muffie... eventhough we did not want this to happen, it was and still is a wonderful experience having these puppies around. also to let you know, muffie is 2 and was on her 3rd heat and kirby is 1. so take the advise above about the first heat.....

| Question? I'm trying to learn from this too. Do you still keep them separated after the second week? |

| I don't know much about this....but know I'd want to be positive they don't mate. Better safe than sorry. I'd keep them apart as long as she's in heat! But then again, I'm chickenchit, and don't want an unplanned preg. Someoene with more experience will be able to shed more light on this subject. |

| Oh goodness of course she can get pregnant. Most breeders are spaying them young so nothing happens like this. I hope everything works our fine.
