And what you can do to deal with your females heat cycle, if you choose never to spay her or if you wait until the appropriate time to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I personally choose not to spay or neuter my dogs. I have had dogs, (a long time ago) that were fixed for one reason or another, shelter dog, vet pressured procedure, etc.\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Obviously when you\u2019re a breeder your breeding dogs are not fixed. Some people do actually decide not to spay\/neuter and never breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">With my intact dogs&#8230;  <\/p>\n\n\n<p>I have never had an &#8220;oops&#8221; litter.<\/p>\n<p>I have never had a dog runaway.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I have never had a dog have a housebreaking issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I have never had my intact dogs aggressive toward me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">All the things some people say will happen, if your dog isn\u2019t altered, I\u2019ve not seen it in my intact dogs. I train them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I did however have a male pound puppy, who was fixed at an early age (because that\u2019s the shelter\/rescue SOP) that would be aggressive when cornered, this was before I was a trainer so I can\u2019t say for sure it was the early neuter but\u2026 I haven\u2019t seen that behavior in any dog I\u2019ve owned since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I am also keeping track of the dogs that come though training if they have aggression and if they are altered and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to expect.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This post isn\u2019t actually about spay \/neuter but about having a dog as a house pet that you have chosen not to spay for whatever reason. So let\u2019s get stuck in! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">How do you deal with a female in season? What should you expect when she goes into season?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Sometime before your female goes into season she may shed her coat. My females shed 4 to 8 weeks before they cycle. Get the vacuum ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Her external vulva may appear swollen. Note: if she has a hooded or recessed vulva, after a heat cycle or two, it may correct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">She may pay more attention to her bottom end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">At some point she will want to pee, a lot, she\u2019s marking, get her outside! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When you see a drop of blood on your floor, it&#8217;s time for the undies! Females can also have silent heats and therefore you may not see any bleeding.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to do.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/precisionk-9services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/underoos.jpg?resize=640%2C698&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Underoos DIY liners for Dog Diapers Females in season If you decide not to spay\" class=\"wp-image-91\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/precisionk-9services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/underoos.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/precisionk-9services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/underoos.jpg?resize=275%2C300&amp;ssl=1 275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">If you decide not to spay your female you&#8217;ll want to get some dog diapers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">See the dog underoos, panties, diapers, call them what you would like, that I use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HUs4kZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.

See photo below, how clean without stains the liners are when your pretreat this way. This is after 6 1\/2 years of use! That&#8217;s about 11 cycles.

This is also good to wipe with if you\u2019re having skin (yeast) issues, or even pimple like bumps on her \u201cHoochie Coochie\u201d!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will it happen? And for how long?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Four stages of a heat cycle is proestrus, estrus, diestrus and anestrus. If you want to learn more you can find plenty of information that goes into more detail about the female dogs heat cycle with an online search. Research the best time to spay and neuter your dog, if that&#8217;s the route you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Assuming you know how dogs get pregnant, if you decide not to spay your female you must keep her contained during her heat cycle and away from intact males. I have heard of females ovulating on crazy days, way way past after the bleeding stops, and you think it&#8217;s all over. You\u2019ve been warned. Remember some females aren&#8217;t &#8220;typical&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">You may see bleeding for 7 to 10 days or three weeks, it can vary. A typical cycle last about 21 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Your female may flag. She is now receptive to the male. In our case Faith wants a man NOW! She is demanding, but I tell her &#8220;this too shall pass&#8221;. And &#8220;no you can&#8217;t go see Dux&#8221; (the male GSD at the kennel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"695\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/precisionk-9services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/View-recent-photos-1.png?resize=640%2C695&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Faith aud Der Bohmter Heide Flagging during her heat cycle. \" class=\"wp-image-96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/precisionk-9services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/View-recent-photos-1.png?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/precisionk-9services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/View-recent-photos-1.png?resize=276%2C300&amp;ssl=1 276w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Faith Flagging<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Your female may come into season every 6 to 7 months (typical), or even every 4 months, maybe 8 or 9 or even more, again it varies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The first estrus happens at maybe 6 to 8 months of age (earlier for smaller dogs) or maybe 9 to 12 months. I\u2019ve even heard of 2 years plus for large dogs, once again, it varies.
