female dogs

do female dogs have cycles....im thinking of getting a female but dont know if they bleed every month?

They bleed when they are in heat, which is what, twice a year or so? And that can easily be illiminated by spaying.

Most bitches are in heat every 6 months (sometines once a year like basenjis) and they start bleeding all over the place :(

And another thing.. It'll be better for both you and your dog if you spay her.

Once spayed, they don't bleed at all. :)

I dont know...I kinda like "The Bitch"....know some people it would definitely apply to....(not here! at work....)

yes, your dog will have seasons, probably twice a year. Everyone has suggested spaying, but if you dont know, here's why. A female allowed to go into heat stands a much stronger chance of developing "female" cancers. Of the fallopian tubes and the uterus. Also, a female in heat will try much harder to escape, to mate, than a spayed one. Even if she cant escape, there will be unneutered male dogs hanging about whenever she's in season. It only take a moment for "accidents" to happen, and them it's too late. Please consider getting her spayed, for her own good and yours as well.

By the way, if you decide on a male instead, we will all also suggest you get him neutered. For all of the above reasons. Unneutered males suffer testicular cancers, dominance issues, and escapism.
