Izzie is now in season I can not believe how swollen she has become ,when does it all go back into place my sons 23 ,18 & 14 are horrified hope it doesnt put them off of women. I have tried the dog nickers ,she puts up with them but not happy so I am constantly cleaning floors.
I have the same problem well don't have boys but just leave her in her create! less of a mess and the bleeding should last for about 7 to 12 days. I think cant remember I'm crazy!

My female was 14 months before she had her 1st season and bled for 21 days exactly and you can count 180 days from that date and she is again in season and same 21 days. Even with this pregnancy she still bled for 21 days which gave me the idea she wasnt pregnant and she carried 11 pups. I did find when she is ready to be mated she gets a straw coloured discharge for those days and back to bleeding where as this time she had very little after mating. I also kept my female crated for the first 2 times until I was sure I wanted my dogs to produce puppies. Less mess and easier to clean although the area is huge it is easily washed with disinfectant and a hose pipe for when you are happy for her to come inside for cuddles and play. Try and find a old towel or blanket to put under her which can be washed when she lays down inside.
