    Hello there,

    I'm not quite sure about your question. Give us some more details.

    Your puppy is far too young to breed from and anyway, breeding is really best left to those with a fair amount of experience - it's not something that most people should contemplate, really, it can be a tricky business.

    So I assume you are asking about what you can expect in the way of your bitch coming into season for the first time?

    Hi , the bitch heat cycle last for 3-4 weeks , the fertile period is usually between 12 and 20 days when the bitch will stand for mating but great care must be taken during the whole of the heat as some bitches are fertile for much longer . I`m sure that you cant be thinking of breeding with your girl as she is much too young , the best time for breeding is around two years of age but even then , should only be undertaken if you know exactly what you are doing and have carefully chosen a health checked stud dog . Hope this helps .
