Many owners do not know or do not pay attention to the dog zeal and is an important time to be attentive and do not care if the dog can mate with any stray dogs or neighbor and bring unwanted litters that end up abandoned in public parks or some shelter dog. For this not to pass more and we can reduce this problem tell you a bit like the zeal bitches. In order to understand better is the same as menstruation in women, of course with some differences.
Bitches in heat for the first time about 6 months to year, may extend a little more, but the first heat does not pass the year and some months. After every 5 or 6 months will repeat the cycle, meaning that a dog comes into heat 2 times a year. Some questions and answers.
"As I tell if my dog \u200b\u200bis in heat ?
The most visible sign is bleeding (the beginning is a cream color with the days you have to make more red) the dog's vulva swells to twice its normal size, the dog is more affectionate, follows us whole house, your appetite increases the days before the start of the heat.
"How long does the heat in the dog ? The approximate duration is 21 days and bleeding can take all this time and finish around 10 days.
"My dog \u200b\u200bmay be pregnant ? If you do not want to be pregnant it is more advisable in such cases is to care for your dog and not bring it to public places during those three weeks, if your bitch grabbed a male in this period is likely that this breeding.
"When the dog cross ? If you want your dog to have puppies when the dog is fertile from about day 9 (day 1 taking as the start of bleeding) at day 17 is when the bitch is receptive and accepts the male. If you lost track of the days you can pet your dog against the grain near the tail, if the bitch runs to the side, will be receptive.
" As mating? Suppose that the bitch is receptive and accepts the male. The courtship is a series of steps, to be sniffing dogs, the dog turns around and sniffing the vulva of the bitch to confirm that is in heat, after it tried to mount it, at first the dog can run but not rejection as it is for the meters and invites him to sit still and running male tail aside. Also mark the whole male urinating everywhere. Once produced the mounts as shown in the picture, there is the so-called budding or knot , dogs get stuck. This budding may take about 10 minutes to an hour, it's normal, do not panic or attempt separlos because it can hurt. The dog may cry, mourn when mated also normal. Concluding this asearan dogs licking their genitals. For a service is good should be repeated at 48 hours. "I look pregnant

If you do not want to go to the vet, some behaviors may indicate pregnancy as morning sickness, abdominal swelling occurs around 30 days from first service, which will be more evident with the passage of time, increased appetite, the dog becomes more loving, sensitive, etc.
"How long is the gestation ? This is rough but walks about 63 days from the first service.
not always the bitch becomes pregnant but everything has gone well. There are many causes of infertility, you should consult your vet to find a possible motive. It sometimes happens that the dog express all the symptoms of pregnancy and not this, this is called pseudopregnancy is something normal that happens to the dogs after each heat, have been covered or not, is conduct that have inherited of their ancestors the wolves. In a herd of wild bitches meet the role of surrogates in the event of maternal death in childbirth, or simply to help with raising large litters. Remember
