When I got her I was told she was not spayed. Is the spotting at the first, middle or end of her heat cycle? It is minimal now. Will it get worse?

Heat cycles last about three weeks in dogs.
They spot for a about a week and then bleed about a week and spot for another week. It depends on the dog how much of a mess they make.
They make doggie pants that you put a minni pad into and put on the dog so they do not make a mess in the house.
You can get them at PetSamrt for about $10 or less.
Well worth it.

I just answered this question, here is the info again. Some of it you know, but it amounts to the same thing.
It is extremely dangerous for her to be bred before two years, so keep a good eye on her. If you don't want puppies, I recommend you have her spayed immediately after they cycle. Her cycle will last about three weeks, about one week in she is ready to be bred for the next week, after that she has a week of her body returning to normal. Don't put a ton of faith in those timings though, some dogs can be bred from day 1 of their heat cycle, to the last day. This means that she should be kept away from dogs the whole time. Many dogs will do anything to get to a girl in season, so don't leave her in the yard, and don't leave her behind a baby gate. If you don't want puppies, I highly encourage you to spay her. It saves you a lot of time and energy. Keep in mind that puppies are a lot of work, and are extremely expensive, count on a 600 dollar expense for every puppy in the first eight weeks of life to get it properly taken care of and vaccinated. Expect to have to pay constant attention to the puppies, they take even more care as babies than they do when you bring home a new 8 week old. Also, Boston's are extremely prone to needing C-sections because of the size of the puppies heads, another expensive process. Having puppies is totally your decision, but there is my best advice.

I would say that itis at the beginning......it will last up to appro. 18 days..........it will get worse. Her little Cha Cha back there will swell and if you don't want puppies....you had better keep all males away within a 5 mile radius....because her scent will be out. When she goes out side to potty have her on a leash and watch her at all times. i have a Pom who will breed on the 4th day on...However...that is unusual.......once the discharge starts to slow a bit and her tail goes to the side when you put your hand near her rear...she is ready for a DATE! I would suggest that after this cycle...unless you want to be a backyard breeder and take all the expense and work that goes with it......she may be able to be spayed A.S.A.P. Just a thought.....

Its probably the middle and she will be ready to breed.She will do this for about 7 days or so but she will still be willing to breed. Take her out with a leash every time to go to the bathroom. Even if you have a fenced yard ...you would be surprised how all different sizes of male dogs can figure a way in.

She is probably on her first week of heat. Keep her away from any males for 3 weeks just to be sure. Congrats on your new dog.
