When does a female dog turn into heat?

Answer 1

No, but females can have "silent heats". Male dogs are the only ones that can tell they are in heat, because they do not have any of the usual signs of being in heat, such as disharge and temperament changes. But they are in heat nonetheless, so they can get pregnant during silent heats.

Answer 2

A female dog can become pregnant during the stage in her cycle known as oestrus (or estrus). The start of oestrus is said to be when there is a surge in a hormone called lutenizing hormone (LH), which corresponds to an increase in another hormone, progesterone.

Oestrus in a dog usually lasts 8 days, during which the female dog is most likely to become pregnant on days 4-6 if she is mated or inseminated.

Answer 3

Your dog can get pregnant in its first heat cycle which varies on the dog, if you have a small dog in can be from 6- 12 months, and for a big dog, 12-15 there heat cycle usually last about 15 or 16 days and happens once a year .......Veterinarians suggest that a dog not get pregnant until 2 years or older, although a dog CAN get pregnant way before that I have a dog that got pregnant at a year and had healthy regular pups, not every ones that fortunate though.

Answer 4

Usually every six months and it lasts for around two weeks. You can buy special ''nappies'' or ''dog towels'' which keep the dog from dripping all over your house. You should also keep her well away from other dogs and DO NOT let her off the lead on walks until her heat cycle has ended. The last thing the World needs is more unwanted puppies. Heat lasts for around two weeks and happens every six months.

Answer 5

Dogs are in heat for about 21 days. They typically with accept the male when she is at about 9-15 days. If it is an experienced stud he will know the right days. The bitch will be cranky when she is too early and past the time.
These are generalities as each bitch is different. Getting progesterone tests at the vet are a good way to test the best days. If you are having problems you can have artificial insemination or intrauterine breeding.
Never leave your bitch unattended when breeding. I always hold the bitches head as she could seriously harm the stud or herself.
