I believe that people who keep dogs will touch on the part of dog estrus and mating. When a dog is sexually mature at a certain age, it will begin to estrus and seek mating. Nowadays, more and more people keep dogs as pets. Most families keep a dog, so when it comes to dogs in heat, pet friends must find a mate for the dog. , and also to prevent the dogs at home from messing around outside, so we must understand the knowledge of dog estrus and mating.

Normally. A female dog will come into heat once before the age of 1. In the future, it will come into estrus twice a year, usually once in spring from March to May and from September to November in autumn. Generally, the best first mating age for bitches is 1 or 5 years old (it is appropriate to mate in the second estrus). When a dog is in heat, special physical and behavioral signs occur.

The dog's estrus is divided into 4 stages:

1. Pre-estrus: It is the preparation stage for estrus, and the time is about 7-10 days. The reproductive system begins to prepare for ovulation. The external performance of the vulva is gradually congested and enlarged, and the mucus mixed with blood flows. Increased frequency and less urination. However, male dogs are not accepted at this time.

2. Estrus: It is the period when the signs of estrus are most obvious and mating is accepted. The genitals begin to bleed, and the time is about 15 days. In the early stage, the vulva was swollen, but it subsided in the early stage, and the bloody mucus dripped out, and the color changed from bright red to light red. 2-3 days after the estrus period, the bitch begins to ovulate, which is the best time for mating.

3. Late estrus. The swelling of the vulva subsided and gradually returned to normal.

4. The period of lack of estrus. The reproductive organs enter an inactive state. Usually about 3 months or so, and then into the next proestrus. To put it bluntly, it's a good time.

Do not bathe when in heat. But be careful to clean your dog's genitals to avoid infection. Dogs get anorexia due to emotional irritability. to increase its resistance. Better to get some more delicious food to feed it. Because the bitch will lose weight quickly during the estrus, and its temper will become a little strange. Courage will become smaller. Temper will be short-tempered. And it will make trouble with you, using your arm as a stick. HOHO. If you don't plan to let your baby mate. Then avoid contact with male dogs when they are in heat. Do good home hygiene. Physiological pants can be worn.

Male dogs in heat: Dogs begin to become fertile around 11 months of age. The best age for first mating is 2 years old. There is no obvious estrus period for male dogs. During the breeding season when the female dog is in heat, the testicles of the male dog enter a functionally active state. When approaching the female dog in estrus, smelling the special smell of the female dog when it is in heat can cause excitement to complete the mating. To put it bluntly: the male dog is always ready
