The first thing that you will notice is a swollen vulva and a bloody discharge. This is the beginning of the heat and the eggs will not be released yet. Male dogs will already be more drawn to her, but she may not show any interest until this phase ends in 6-10 days. In the second stage of heat your dog will be fertile.Her bleeding will change from pink to a sandy color, and she will be more welcoming to male attention. This stage will last approximately 6-10 days, but can last as long as 20 days in some dogs.ost mature female dogs will go into heat every 6 months, but it is common for them to skip a cycle. The heat cycle itself will last approximately 3 weeks. It is best to wait until after your dog is two years old before you breed them so their body can fully develop before they bare puppies.
My female dog is now bleeding again 8 weeks after having her pups. Now I know she's suppose to bleed for awhile after having a litter when their first born but she stopped since then and just started back up again recently but this time she's bleeding a lot and its a dark color that she usually gets while she's in heat.
