What are the signs when a female puppy goes into heat?

Answer 1

When a female dog goes into heat she must be kept on a lead on walks incase of unwanted litter, unless you are planning for your dog to have puppies, you should know the father and not just make it a 'one night stand' because then the farther who you don't know may have things wrong with him that could be passed onto the puppies. NEVER let your dog have babies under 2 years. (reearch for more information on why and when) SIGNS that a female is in heat. She should be releseing a bloody discharge but you may not see much of it if your dog cleans herfelf properly. She will allow mating with other dogs in the park and whatnot. The will be overfriendly with make dogs in perticluar. The might do things like hump the cushion your leg. When dogs have been spade, it is unlikey that she will go into heat.

Answer 2

Agreed. Males don`t go into heat but can in a sense `hit puberty``. This is when the dog is becoming sexually mature. When this happens the testicles start producing more testosterone, which can in fact cause behavior changes such as wanting to roam to find a female to mate, wanting to dominate other dogs, people furniture, becoming territorial, and marking territory with urine. These actions can become personality traits if the dog is not neutered, or is neutered too long after becoming sexually mature. Then you would need to train the dog not to do the undesired behavior. Males don't go into heat... there can be no signs of something that does not happen. As mentioned above males do not have heat cycles like females do, they do not go into heat.

Answer 3

Generally, the first sign is the vulva (outer genitalia) begins to swell, when they are in heat, they will drip blood. Some dogs are clean, and you'll never see a drop of blood, others are not so aware, and you'll have to follow them around the house with a rag.

A heat cycle is not a menstrual cycle, in fact, it's the opposite, and during heat, the dog is fertile and will become receptive to males at the peak of fertility. As soon as you notice signs of heat, you should immediately separate your female from any unneutered males, and ensure your dog is kept secure on a leash or in a safe room while unattended by you.
