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.
When it comes to dog birth, there are some very important things to remember for before, during, and after the birthing of puppies. About 10 days before the due date, you need to introduce your dog to her whelping box. If it has a door on it, put her in there a couple of times a day and close the door.If your dog is given several opportunities to lay down in her box, she will automatically go in there as her first signs of whelping begin.ne of my dogs gave birth to 9 puppies in 2 hours, start to finish. That is a bit unusual though. When whelping puppies, it is normal for your Golden Retriever to birth many of her babies tail first, rather than head first. This is called a breech birth and is quite common and nothing to worry about.
