Also if a dam is in heat, it helps to stop the marking. Generally the dog comes into heat, and the experienced breeder notices right away, while the newbie may not notice till day four. Normally they are breedable on approximately day 12 to day 18, but they can remain in heat till day 21. Each dog is different, and heat averages two to three weeks. They start to bleed, and then by day 12 it goes pink, and by day 16 they stop bleeding. Unfortunately many people think when they stop bleeding, they are out of heat, but in a dog, it means they ovulated.
