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.

Their heat starts about every six months.

But it's not unusual if your puppy doesn't have her first heat in her first six months of living.

I have a little yorkie, and she just started her first heat a few days ago and she will be one on March 3rd.

Why does a female cat go into heat after being sprayed by a male cat?

Whether that is the reason or not, is indefinite.

The female emits pheromones when she is in heat that the male cat responds to. So the order is, the female is in heat and THEN the male sprays to mark territory.

How do you stop the heat of a female dog during breeding time?

The only way to completely stop a heat cycle is to have your dog spade. If you don't want to spade her she will continue to have heat cycles and if you don't want her to be bred keep her inside and away from male dogs when the bleeding part of the cycle starts. Keep her inside for up to 2 to 3 weeks from the time the bleeding cycle starts.
