how long does a female dog be in heat for?

Answer 1

Hi there am a breeder for several years. a female dogs heat cycle ,the average is three weeks (21 days). But it can be shorter (two weeks) or longer (four weeks). Assume the longer period if in doubt.

Answer 2

dogs usually are in heat between 15 and 21 days they usually will go in heat 3 times a year. if they get pregnant they will usually stop within 5 days after there first intimate encounter.

Answer 3

3-4 weeks.

Keep her away from all intact males during this time, do not let her outside unsupervised, even in a fenced yard. A male will go to great lengths to get to a female in heat, including digging under, or scaling over a fence, some types of fence can be bred through.

Once her heat is over have her spayed asap. This will not only preven unwanted litters and the mess of a heat cycle, it will greatly lessen her chances of mammary cancer later in life, and will completely eliminate chances of uterine cancer and pyometra, a uterine infection which can be deadly if not treated promptly.
