Virtually all breeds have two oestrus cycles each year. Initially, the vulva swells and within a day there is a clear discharge, which becomes tinged with blood the next day. This discharge increases in intensity and then slowly diminishes, ending after about ten days. During this time the female becomes more alert and urinates frequently, leaving signals of her impending willingness to mate. Ovulation takes place soon after the discharge has stopped. Only now will the female accept mating. Hormonal changes occur regardless of whether a female is pregnant, which is why there is no simple blood or urine tests to confirm impending motherhood.
The best time to breed a female dog is typically when she is in the estrus phase of her heat cycle, which is also known as the fertile phase. This is when she is most receptive to mating and has the highest chance of conceiving. It's important to understand the different stages of the heat cycle to determine the optimal time for breeding.
