    Hi and welcome to the forum! :)

    The slight spotting and colour are perfectly normal. You will probably find the spotting increases as her body gets into the swing of her first season.

    If you are concerned, or the discharge looks abnormal, just have a quick chat with your vet :)

    Some information here:

    A heat cycle typically lasts 21 days, for some bitches 28 days. Many bleed through the entire time. Blood can be all colours from red to brown. You might want to read the Book of the Bitch, which you can get from Amazon.
