Virtually all breeds have two oestrus cycles each year. Initially, the vulva swells and within a day there is a clear discharge, which becomes tinged with blood the next day. This discharge increases in intensity and then slowly diminishes, ending after about ten days. During this time the female becomes more alert and urinates frequently, leaving signals of her impending willingness to mate. Ovulation takes place soon after the discharge has stopped. Only now will the female accept mating. Hormonal changes occur regardless of whether a female is pregnant, which is why there is no simple blood or urine tests to confirm impending motherhood.
she bleeds, and a male dog will want to hump her >:)
whenever she seems ready and comfortable with the male dog. when this happens, you'll see them humping and cuddling. that's when you know its TIME.
After she quits bleeding.
The female dog only lets the male breed during her heat cycle. This usually takes place every six months. The female will not breed during any other time.
There is no such breed. Each female dog as an individual will vary during her heat. Normally you see the most blood in the beginning of the heat then it slowly stops.
You should not breed your female until she has had her 2nd or 3rd heat.
Female dogs "go into heat" randomly, about twice a year. You should not breed her until she is about 3 years old, and you should have her checked out by a vet before you start.
Right after the female stops bleeding is when she can be bred. She will get a clear with pinkish discharge after bleeding, which is when you can breed her, but she will not accept a male while still bleeding.
If your shitzu is a male, standard breeding guidelines say around 1 year of age. This gives the dogs reproductive system time to mature. If your shitzu is female, then you generally skip the first heat and breed on the second or third. Breeding on the first heat of a female is not healthy and should not be done.
Nothing. The female must be on heat to breed puppies.
If you mean 'when' then most dogs come into season/heat every six months. Otherwise, you should take your female to a stud dogs property when she is in heat to breed her. Don't take the stud dog to the bitch as the male will be much more comfortable mating on his own property.
In her second heat 9 to 13 days after she first starts bleeding.
Leave the male and female together when she goes in heat.
She will clearly show you when she is ready and in heat.
