Answer 1

Hi Jingles!!
The canine heat or estrous cycle varies in length. Many people know that their dog goes into "heat" but don't realize that unlike the human menstrual cycle, which is a non-fertile stage, dogs that are in heat are preparing to ovulate. There are four stages of the estrous cycle. The first stage is proestrus, which is characterized by increased follicular activity of the ovary, a stage that is necessary prior to the release of the eggs. Outward signs include vulvar swelling and bleeding. During this time, your dog will be attractive to males but not receptive to them. In general, this stage lasts six to 11 days with an average of nine days. The end of this cycle is noted when your pet becomes receptive to the male and will stand to be bred.

The second phase is the actual fertile phase or estrus. During this time, the discharge becomes more straw-colored to light pink and the vulva, although still swollen, is softer. The female is now receptive to males and will stand for breeding. This stage generally lasts five to nine days. Unfortunately, it can last as long as 20 days and still be normal. Each dog is different and must be monitored closely. The end of this stage is characterized by the female no longer accepting the male.

The last two stages of the estrous cycle are diestrus, a non-receptive time when the corpora lutea, which produce progesterone, are active on the ovary and anestrus. During anestrus there is no ovarian activity. Diestrus and anestrus are lengthy periods: diestrus lasts 56 to 60 days and anestrus is variable, but several months long. Most dogs cycle twice a year.

If your poodle whining and crying or barking it is other problem. You need go to vet for consultations

My little one is the same age and she just finished her cycle. It lasted about 2 weeks. There was no whining crying barking or aggressive behaviour. Her vulva and nipples became very swollen and she had a discharge from her vulva. You'll know when its going on because of the swelling. I had never had a dog go into heat so early, with my other dog I got her spade right at 6 months before her first cycle. So I was a bit suprised when my little one went into to heat right at 6 months. It was not as messy as I thought it would be, its not a constant flow and sometimes it is clear.

I actual have been working with a breed particular rescue team for the final 10 Years and it is human beings such as you that keep me and another rescue team and shelter busy. you do not understand sufficient to be breeding and could the two have your woman spayed or giver her up and raise corn for ethanol. it is glaring which you have finished no examine into what you're doing and the breeder which you got the dogs could have long previous to the comparable college you have. the only reason to reproduce a dogs is for coach and any respected breed might have made you sign a settlement to have the animal spayed in case you weren't going to coach it besides as knowledgeable you on the ins and out of breeding. There are thank you to many canines in this united states that desire residing house and thank you to few residences.
