Females go into heat about every 6 months. and the heat cycle lasts for 21days.
The heat cycle of the female dog has three parts and lasts about 3 weeks.
The first part lasts anywhere from 3-14 days during which a bloody discharge and swelling of the vaginal area are usually seen.
Next the dog will become receptive to being bred and actively may seek out a male dog. This is the time when she can become pregnant. The discharge may change color at this time and become lighter.
Finally, the discharge will become clearer, the vaginal swelling will diminish and the dog will no longer allow herself to be bred.
While your dog is in heat you must watch her carefully to avoid unwanted breeding and subsequent puppies. If you are not planning on breeding your dog, please have her spayed to help prevent unwanted puppies. It I will also lower her risk to several types of cancer.

Estrus ("heat") is the mating period of female animals. When estrus occurs, animals are said to be "in heat" or "in season." Dogs generally have their first estrous cycle at 6-12 months of age. Some females of the large breeds, however, may not have their first estrus until they are 12-24 months of age. The complete cycle takes about 6 months, resulting in 2 estrous periods each year. Individual variation occurs, but a given female's pattern tends to be repeated regularly.
The estrous cycle can be divided into 4 stages:
1. Proestrus: This stage begins with the appearance of vaginal bleeding. It normally lasts from 4 to 9 days. Male dogs become very interested in the female; however, she will not yet mate with them.
2. Estrus: This is the stage in which the female will accept the male and conception can occur. The vaginal discharge is more yellowish than bloody. Ordinarily, the stage lasts for 4 to 13 days. Your female will stand still and hold her tail to the side when you touch her back or a male dog tries to mount.
3. and 4. Metestrus and anestrus: These 2 stages are periods of ovarian activity, but with no significant outward signs. False pregnancies frequently occur during metestrus.
Some Important Points:
* You should consider your pet to be "in season" for 21 days: 7 days coming into heat, 7 days in heat, 7 days going out. Though conception is most likely during the middle 7 days, Mother Nature doesn't always follow the rules. Confine your pet for the entire 3 weeks. (whew, glad I'm not a dog... and I thought 5 days was bad enough, lol!)
* Remember that the above information is general. Not all females follow these patterns. Consult with the doctor if your pet does not seem typical. Sometimes, cycling problems can be an early warning of more serious problems, and the sooner they are dealt with, the better.

It really depends on the dog. It can vary from 1 week to 3 weeks. Usually though, seven days is about normal. You may also notice that she is a bit moody and tends to eat more. If this is her first cycle her teets may drop and her vulva may become swollen even after her heat is through this is normal. Sometimes females will have a false pregnancy and their body will go through the motions of being pregnant. If you feel like her cycle is lasting too long see a vet and get their opinion. Hope you find this helpful.

They'll stay in heat for 3-4 weeks, but don't typically bleed the entire time.
Have her fixed and this won't be an issue!

My pup stayed in heat for 4 weeks. It's tough. We didnt' get her spayed in time for her first heat cycle...our mistake. She is now pregnant. If you plan on breeding...then you wont' have to get her fixed...but please be careful if you are not planning on breeding, make sure you keep a close eye on her. You might want to try those dog diapers they make, to control the bleeding, if you don't want a mess on the carpet.
Good luck!!

On universal approximately 3 weeks provide or take some days. they in lots of cases are receptive to reproduce in 13 to fifteen days. Her first warmth must be secure guarded against any men for the reason that she is far too youthful to reproduce. in the adventure that your making plans to have her spayed do it quickly after this warmth to keep away from problems with maximum cancers and pyometris that may the two be deadly.
