3 months is a REALLY long gestation for a dog, 9 weeks is typical, with a normal range of 60-66 days... Or are you asking about heat? Heat cycles in adult dogs average 6 months, but can be 4-12 months in some cases. It usually lasts 3-4 weeks but can vary and the actual time the dog is receptive to a male is much shorter (generally less than a week)

Gestation is when they are pregnant, and that lasts about 9 weeks.
Are you thinking heat cycles? If so, it can vary from female to female. Most dogs have them about every 7 months, and they last for about 3 weeks. The first week coming into heat, the second is in heat, and the third is coming out of heat.

I agree with Tashasmygirl. Some dogs only cycle once each year but most are about 6 or 7 months apart. You have to be careful for about a month to avoid a pregnancy because the have a habit of being in heat just before you think they will and just a little longer than you expected. Watch her for signs of a behavior change either getting unusually playful and puppyish or grumpy or suddenly quiet and avoiding things she usually likes. Watch for male dogs hanging around your property too.

Gestation is the length of time they are pregnant and that is normally 63-65 days.
They go into heat about every six months and stay in heat for about three weeks wach time.
