A female dog will generally stay in heat for about three weeks or around 21 days. However, this heat cycle will vary from one dog to the next. It depends on the breed, the age and the dog herself. A female dog will go into heat twice a year.
Female dogs have their first estrus cycle -- known as coming on heat or being in season -- at around 6 to 7 months, though it can be as early as 4 months or as late as 2 years in some breeds and individuals. From then on, most bitches come on heat twice a year. During estrus, female dogs have a blood-stained discharge. Pro-Estrus Bleeding The first stage of estrus is pro-estrus, lasting 4 to 15 days, and a hormone called estrogen is produced causing changes in the bitches' wombs and vaginas in preparation for mating.
