21 days and it's a heat cycle and not PMS or a period. It means she's fertile and will be receptive to males. It will happen twice a year. Please get her spayed - it will stop this and she will be at less risk of cancer and other reproductive diseases.

It's called a heat cycle. It will last for about 3 weeks in total. It happens every 6-7 months, so unless you feel like dealing with this mess twice a year the only fix is to get her spayed.
Also, never leave her outside unattended while in heat. Intact male dogs in the area will want to mate with her and you do not want that.

It last about 3 weeks 1 week in 1 weeks during and 1 week coming out. She'll get it again in about 6 months. There is such thing as split heats, where they have most of heat..come out early and have another in a month or so. It's best to get her spayed. If you don't know even know anything about the heat cycles, you should NOT breed. It's best for her anyway, as she'll be healthy and less likely to get many different cancers. Get her fixed there are places you can go for low cost spays.

Any dog has their heat ( as you call PMS) for 21 days.
they sell doggy diapers for dogs in heat with pads that can be changed. ( My dogs wouldn't wear. Teh best thing to take care of this problem truthfully is to have her spayed in about 8 weeks. She will more than likely come into heat every 6 months.
