Keep her in if you don't want pups, be very careful when taking her out, keep her on the lead and other dogs away, have her neutered as soon as possible- there are tpp many unwanted dogs.

Your dog is in 'season' it isn't called periods for a dog. Male dogs go into 'heat'. You may find a little blood in places, just clean it up with a proper cleaner to deodarise, she'll keep herself clean anyway so you shouldn't have too much of a problem. Her toilets out in your garden will attract male dogs, you'll need to clean this up as soon as possible and also wash down any wee she does near your front door etc.. Watch her at all times whilst she's in season, (she can be made pregnant). After our Cairns 1st season we had her doctored, it always saves unwanted pups. She began having phantom pregnancies though, where she would choose a certain toy and that was her 'pup'. I still have the toy but never let her see it.

B1itches don't have periods, they have seasons which is when they are receptive to male dogs. The most important thing to do is to make sure no males can get to her. She is in season for apprx. 3 weeks and is most likely to be mated around the middle week, usually when her discharge lessens. Don't take her for walks where she is likely to meet other dogs, never let her off the lead & if you do take her for walks, take her in the car so you don't have all the males in the neighbourhood following her scent back to your house. Most bitches clean themselves pretty well, particularly from the 2nd season, so as long as you don't have white carpets you should be OK!
Beware that her temperament might change during the time she is in season, some b1tches who have never shown any desire to roam turn into Houdinis & will try to run off. Others will not tolerate other female dogs or even cats around, even if they normally live happily together.
Other than that, you don't have to do anything.

when your b**** is in season keep her away from any male dog for at least 3 weeks dont even let her in the garden on her own even if you have a high fence a male dog will get in they can smell a ***** on heat for miles and if you do take her out dont let her of the lead and the first some many yards dont let her walk any where by your houe pick her up and carry her if you can and when you get back from the walk a few yard from your home pick her up and carry her up to your house or front door so that a dog cant pick up her sent of the ***** on heat just be very caerfull as she will do her best to get out when the door is open and the ***** will go of looking for a dog

Our female dogs were always outdoors during this time in a securely fenced area with their own kennel. We didnt have to worry this way about staining in the house. Just make sure no male dogs can get to the female.

Don't take her out where you amy run into other dogs and remember that the season will continue for a short while after the bleeding itself stops. GiIve her lots of attention as bitches in season will often feel down. And finally, if you are concerned about your funishings, you can buy little 'pants' for dogs now too!

you can take her for an inj at the vets,it won't stop it straight away but will make it a shorter season for her.don't give dogs human asprin or any painkiller unless reccomended by your vet it can be dangerous!
if you don't want to breed from her you have to wait for three months to have her spayed as the risk of bleeding is far higher if you don't.if you do want to breed you need to wait until the young lady is at least 2 years old,by then she should be mature enough to cope with the puppies and all the changes her body will go through.good luck

An acquaintance had a smallish dog and made her b*tch wear regular babies' nappies to prevent her from staining the carpet. It worked fine, but looked absolutely ridiculous. The dog didn't seem to be bothered, but I am still not entirely sure if this practice is recommendable...

Nothing as far as I can tell. I would only advise to make sure she is safe as she'll attract much attention from other dogs so don't let her escape and be vigilent while walking her. Also, be careful where you keep her - without meaning to be too yucky, the tend to be a little messy!

You can buy some spray from pet shops that make her a bit less attractive to boy dogs , so it may make taking her for a walk a bit easier and stop them hanging around your front door all day!!!! but in the long run get her done!!!!!!!!
