Great Pyrenees have the same length of pregnancy as any other dog - about 58 to 62 days.
She'll start bleeding just like a human.
On average dogs go into season, or heat, every six months. However, some dogs go into heat more frequently than others.
The heat cycle for a Great Pyrenees typically lasts about 2 to 3 weeks, occurring approximately twice a year. During this period, the female dog goes through different stages, including proestrus and estrus, where she becomes receptive to mating. Signs of heat can include swelling of the vulva and changes in behavior. It's essential for owners to monitor their dog closely during this time.
It's generally not recommended to shave a Great Pyrenees during the summer, as their double coat provides insulation against both heat and cold. Shaving can disrupt their natural temperature regulation and may lead to overheating or sunburn. Instead, regular grooming to remove loose fur can help keep them comfortable in warmer weather. If you're concerned about heat, consult with a veterinarian or professional groomer for the best approach.

No. Many dogs that go in to heat earlier are the ones that are bigger and can mature faster. The bigger breeds, such as a great dane or so, would go into heat much faster then a chihuahua for example. This si because the great dane can mature faster then the chihuahua.
All dogs have typically two estrus or heat cycles a year about 6 months apart that last 2-3 weeks For a Great Dane, 9 to 12 months is not unusual.
you have to wait for them to come into heat If the female is in heat she will eventually come around.
