Female dogs go through a heat cycle, called estrus, every six months. She will have proestrus, or a bleeding cycle, before her true heat cycle during which she is very receptive to the advances of male dogs. This heat cycle lasts for several days up to three or four weeks.

Biologically, the dog must be old enough to have had its first heat cycle, which usually occurs somewhere between 6 and 9 months of age. For the mother's health, it is best to wait until a dog is 3 years old before breeding her, so that HER body is completely grown and ready to support the growth of puppies.
