Female dogs have what's called an estrous cycle. It's called being "in heat". It's different from periods (menstrual cycles), however, in that the time that they're in heat is when they're most fertile. They still can bleed vaginally, but it's for a different reason.
Many people (as you can see from all of the answers above) mistake this for a period. Only similarities are the blood show and fertility reference. But it's really not the same as ours. Check out the link below for more info!

3 weeks is the normal time frame, though it can differ from dog to dog. If you're going to breed her, you said 'soon' she will probably not survive the birthing. For the kind of dog she is,,all bulldog types, the chances of complications during birth are much higher than for other breeds. If you breed her before she is 2 yrs old and finished growing, the chances get even higher. It would be safer for her if you wait until she is grown. If you do manage to get her to have babies, or survive a c section, before she is an adult (2yrs) , you have a huge chance that she will abandon the babies,,and you'll be stuck with the raising of them. Vets suggest 2 yrs or 4th heat before breeding a female.

Yes, every six months from the time they are a year old. For dogs the term is heat. You know you've heard people say my dog is in heat. Cats too. They even make special little diaper like things in various forms so not to have messes everywhere.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tinyurl.im/PCg8J
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Dogs, like so many other mammals, go "into season." At least once a year, mammals will bleed (typically) - and this is the signal to the male of the species that the female is fertile, able and ready to be bred.
This is opposite of humans, where the woman's monthly menses indicates that fertility did NOT take place, hence the "period."

Yes...in a sense. Females do bleed when they are in "heat". They do go through a cycle....much different from a human female. Some dogs bleed alot....some bleed very little...some become very swollen...some allow signs, but are hardly noticable at all. Female dogs go into "heat" bi-annually. They can become pregnant VERY easily during "heat".
SPAY YOUR DOG to prevent "heats", amatuer breeding and/or unwanted puppies. Spaying also has many health benefits. Your dog will love you for it. A spayed (females) or neutered (males) dog is a happy & healthy dog.

Dogs are naturally sociable animals, and to keep one confined one at home is both cruel and unnecessary. All mutts yearn for the freedom to run around and play in the sun, meet other people and other dogs. Many owners are understandably wary of granting their pets such freedom for fear that the dog would simply run away or even attack another animal or person.
Owners of badly behaved pets are in a constant state of worry about their pets. They live in fear of the day when their bad-tempered, poorly trained canine will snap. In such situations dog training is the only solution. While it may seem like a tough task at first, all the hard work you do training your pet will be more than worth it in the end.
What to Expect from Dog Training?
Obedience training, generally speaking, is comprised of several different stages. Dog trainers start with the basics, and build on that. There are no shortcuts when it comes to training your dog. If your dog doesn't understand the basic commands like 'sit', 'stand', 'come' and 'stay' then there's no point in teaching it more advanced commands. Advanced commands can range in anything from asking your dog to fetch to making it roll over or sit up and beg.
Training your dog can take many forms; some of the more popular dog training methods include reward training, clicker training, obedience-training games, and collar or leash training. Whichever method you use, your dog training efforts should, in the end, change that ill-tempered and unmanageable mutt into a quiet, well-behaved dog.
Is Dog Training Really Worth it?
The answer would be a resounding YES! As a pet owner you are responsible for the well-being and maintenance of your dog. While this includes the basics such as food, shelter and love, it also includes the time and effort you put into making your dog safer around your family and community.
The newspapers are full of stories of irresponsible pet owners whose pets run wild, cause damage, and hurt other people. It is not enough to simply look after the basic needs of your dog; you are also responsible for its general behavior and the way it interacts with the world at large.
Can I Train my Dog by Myself?
While it is always easier to get a professional dog trainer to handle your mutt's training, most dog owner's prefer to handle the training themselves. You can do it on your own, provided you come prepared. A little knowledge can go a long way, and this is especially true in dog training. Attend a dog training class with your pet to pick up pointers from an expert; read dog training books and guides; take part in online discussion forums with other dog owners. You will find that your dog training sessions will go a lot easier if you have some prior knowledge of what to expect and some pointers on how to best control the animal.
There is no quick fix for a pet with behavioral problems and no easy way to train it. There will be times during your pet training sessions that you will lose your temper or your dog may snap at you out of frustration. Don't be disheartened! Keep at it, and by the end of your dog training session you will find that you and your dog have bonded like never before.
Training a dog is one of those rites of passage every pet owner has to go through. Ultimately it can be a highly rewarding and supremely gratifying experience for both you and your four-legged pet.

Yes, it's actually during the time that they are in heat and ready to breed. It usually smells obvious while they get rouled up, you'll be ab;e to tell.
