I would be concerned about coyotes because she is a bigger dog. If you aren't afraid they will come close, or can keep a fire going so they will stay away, then it will be ok. Even if the worst happens and she gets bred by a coy or coydog, you could still have an abortion injection if you get it right away.

How is a leash going to protect her? She needs to be spayed if you don't want some random male ramming her. I would not take her with you right now. A female in heat can attract males from miles around.
EDIT: Oh, so you're a breeder??? Than why ask such a question?....unless, you are not an actual breeder and just want to make a quick buck off a litter of puppies, or you think that she'll be a better dog after a litter...Bad idea. Do not breed unless your dog is an exceptional example of her breed, has been tested for any genetic problems that she can pass to her pups, is hips certified, and registered...breeding without knowing how to is DANGEROUS for your dog. Spaying, however, will help to assure her health and prolong her life.

You won't be very popular with the other families.. Anything canine will be trying to get into your camper all night long. It's also not a nice thing to do to the other dog owners even if their dog is on a leash, because they will keep trying to break the leash and it will ruin their vacation. Even if you don't bring her, you'll be surprised at how much interest you will get for the first day or so, until her smell wears off from you.

Your dog will be fine - she might be the main attraction for the other dogs but she isn't in any danger as long as you keep her on a leash. I wouldn't worry especially since all of the other dogs have to be on leashes too.

No. the scent of a female dog can last for 2 days and spred up 2 two miles. the best bet is if u want her 2 breed then yes take her for a walk.but if not find a doggie sitter.
Hope this helps!

I wouldn't take her unless you want her potentially knocked up by some campground mongrel.
And I have to comment -- You are going to breed your dog, yet you ask something as fundamental as this question? Unless you educate yourself more, I'd have to say you are the type of Backyard Breeder that gives many a bad name.

I would say NO to taking her with you. Either stay home with her or have her stay with someone who is responsible to keep her seperate from any males. This is the most important time and if you do not want her bred with unwanted puppies, Do the responsible thing and keep her home.

how about get her spayed while your camping then go pick her up when you get back.. why breed her that's just more puppies who will end up in the pound and die cause you didn't fix her

If she is bleeding right now then it would be fine. She will attract other males, but even if a male attaches to her they will not reproduce. She's actually not fertile if she is bleeding only the two days after she has stopped bleeding.
