A dog goes into heat for one week , is in heat for one week and goes out for one week. If your going to breed her do it in the second week.

You need to read the answers above - do not breed your dog. This should be left up to people who dedicate their time, money, wisdom to the breed and want to advance the breed. Not quite sure why you want to breed her in the first place. You will not make any money from it, you will spend more. You are not doing any favours for your current dog.
You are best to leave this to the experts and get your dog de-sexed.

It will depend entirely upon her - all dogs are different but prior to breeding you need to educate yourself a bit more about dogs and your breed in specific as we have millions of people that simply make puppies out of ignorance and the vast majority of the pups they produce end up in shelters, rescues and body piles. Please, since you don't know what you are doing (or you would know about seasons and breeding at least) don't be breeding your dog just to make more unwanted puppies. If you care about her you will spay her and just love her instead of exploiting her uterus for some personal gratification.

Most female dogs won't breed with a male until the 10th day of her cycle,and after that she will continue to breed up to 3 1/2 to 4 wks. thereafter.

Try reading a book on the basics of heat cycles and breeding dogs. Is your google search box broken?

You may as well delete this question, because you won't get any help here.
You can breed your dog as soon as :
- She's finished her AKC conformation championship
- She's been health certified by a vet for eyes, hips, heart, knees/elbows, and brucellosis (sp)
- You've gone to an animal shelter and witnessed a few dozen perfectly healthy dogs being euthanized because there aren't enough homes to go around
- You find a stud with his championship and health certs
- You spend a few years studying your breed, their genetics, health problems, temperment issues, etc.
- You take a few classes on animal reproduction
- You are prepared to shell out thousands of dollars you'll never see again on raising and vetting the litter
- You have at least 20 good homes lined up prior to breeding to assure none of your pups is left wanting
- You've come to terms with the fact that your dog may very well die giving birth
- You know enough about breeding that you don't have to ask this question
Do your dog a favor and get her spayed- nobody who only looks as far ahead as 'when can I' has any right breeding dogs.

Taken right out of my vet book, Proestrus- the dog starts bleeding and develops progressive swelling to the uterus, lasts 5-9days on average. Estrus-the bleeding diminishes. the dog is receptive to males at this time. Two days after ovulation the egg can be fertilized by sperm, estrus lasts 6-12 days. and in case you didn't know this pregnancy lasts for 63-64 days.

If you plan to breed her I have some questions first.
Is she a pure breed and papered? If not why breed her? What are you going to do with the puppies?
Is she in good health, up to date on her shots, on heart worm preventative? If not do not breed her. You never breed an unhealthy pet.
The best way I can think of to find her an appropriate mate would be to talk to your vet's office.

Is she purebred, tested for all health conditions known to the breed, registered with a reliable kennel.....and do you have a stud that is ''all the above'' as well?
If not.....you have no reason to breed, and bring more animals into a world where there already isn't enough homes for the ones currently living.

Never.
If you need to ask this type of question, then you are not a professional breeder. There are tons of puppies and adult dogs who have no one to take care of them,
Have the dog fixed, and enjoy her as she is - a loving member of the family.
