The first heat cycle for a female dog would be between 6-24 months. If she doesn't have her first cycle by then, you take a trip to the vet. And it doesn't necessarily matter what kind of dog it is to have a certain heat cycle. Hope this helps!
The best way to recognize when your female dog has her first heat cycle is to spot the drops of blood that will come from her rear. Her female parts will also appear swollen.
I will assume you are talking about the dog's heat cycle. A female dog does not have a menopause, as people do. Their cycles continue their entire life, though in it's elder years the cycle can become less predictable as to when it occurs. A female dog no matter it's age can become pregnant, but that doesn't mean it's healthy for an older dog! This is why female dogs need to be spayed, preferably before the onset of their first heat cycle.
The answer is yes, but for only part of the heat cycle will a female is receptive to breeding. On average, this phase (called the estrus phase) begins around day 9 or 10 from the initial onset of the cycle. It is only at this point in the cycle when a female will allow and even encourage mating.
When the female dog begins her cycle, the male dog will undoubtedly mount her. Be on the look out for blood and cervical fluid (goo) passing from the uterus of the female dog. She will appear to be having a mentrual cycle. At that point, the male dog (as long as he is penned with her) will mount her. Until then, they should be really great friends.
A dog's heat cycle is 3 weeks. It does not matter what breed or size of dog it is, they all have the same length for their heat, which is 3 weeks.
no. Dogs don't have a period they have a cycle If your female dog has had an operation for desexing purposes she does not have a cycle at all . when you have your female dog desexed your vet will make sure that all her reproductive system can no longer function to have a cycle, if your female dog is having a cycle and you have had the operation done by a vet then I would take her back to the vet because Spaying, or desexing, is the term applied to the operation in which the ovaries and uterus are removed from the female dog . The object of spaying is to stop the bitch from coming on heat and reproducing, so if she is still having a cycle then shes not desexed most dogs will have a little scare on their belly from the operation I hope this answer your Question.
A female will only mate during a specific time of her cycle after the mating ritual has been completed the female will finish out the rest of her heat cycle.
If a male dog licks a female dog it will not bring her into heat if she is not at the right stage of the estrous cycle. Hormones such as estrogen must be at the right level for the dog to come into heat. The short anser to your question then is, "no".
my female jack russel has not been on heat since november, why is this/
If the female is in her cycle now she will definitely get pregnant and the puppies might not make it. Your dog WILL NOT make it. I am sorry it has happened to my dog. The puppies did not make and either did the mother.
