    A female dogs estrus cycle (heat cycle)

    Proestrus- the dog starts bleeding from the vulva and develops progressive swelling to the uterus last 5-9 days on average. Ovulation usually occurs towards the end of proestrus. The female becomes attractive to the male.

    Estrus- the bleeding diminishes but the vulva remains swollen; the dog is receptive to males at this time. Two days after ovulation the eggs can be fertilized by sperm. Estrus on average lasts 6-12 days.

    Diestrus- the dog comes out of heat and the vulva begins to return to normal. If the dog becomes pregnant, the egg implant at this time and pregnancy begin

    So approx 21 days.

    3 more weeks as you want to be really sure... some may be less you'd have to check with your vet. I am giving you my cut and paste answer because your dog may end up pregnant even if you are very vigilant.

    Okay so you think your dog is pregnant MAY BECOME PREGNANT or you want to breed? Please check my blog for information on things like parvo and housebreaking. Also check this book out... this is on my online store and has a comparison price feature so you can shop around.

    If you are asking this question you MUST read up and have material on hand and if your dog gives birth.

    This book is a good one.

    http://tinyurl.com/5kcnmk If you cannot wait you might be able to get it at barnes and noble locally.

    There is also a breeding for dummies book that is basic and decent also on my site. Take a look at the books, some of the sites that compare like amazon have a review also.

    YOU NEED to get educated and FAST as pregnancies are only 63 days and it GOES fast.Build a list of three books and go pick them up locally or order from my site which whatever.

    Do not feel obligated to buy I am mostly earning money by people clicking the google ads some do it to compare and I have a search engine on my blog for that purpose. http://golden-joy.blogspot.com/ the search is geared toward dog stuff.

    AT any rate, Just get some material to have on hand! Find a mentor in real life someone that has gone through this before.And most important get a vet to have on hand in case of complications.

    books in general

    She will stay in heat for 3 weeks from first show of blood, and should not be around males during this time, even though the bleeding will taper off. Do not let her outdoors unless you are right there, even in a fenced area, as they can breed through fences if they can't climb over, dig under or tear through. Spaying will eliminate these "NO FUN" heats, and also prevent deadly diseases like pyometra and uterine and ovarian cancers. If cost is a problem, google "SpayUSA" for a low cost or free clinic near you.

    Boston has a wealthy record and a diverse neighbourhood; it has a heritage of arts, tradition, and education; Boston has something for everyone therefore discover what Boston can give you with hotelbye . The three-mile Freedom Trail leads you previous - and in to - 16 of the city's primary historic monuments and sites. It's easy to follow along with, by the type of red bricks in the pavement and by footprints at road crossings. The trail will get you to Old Granary Burying Ground wherever Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock are buried; may get you to King's Chapel Burying Ground, the Boston's oldest cemetery; Old South Meeting House where in actuality the ringing speeches of patriots spawned the Boston Tea Party and the Old State House, Boston's oldest public building and your website of the Boston Massacre.

    The bull was dropped from their name many many years ago, the breed is simply called the Boston Terrier.

    Why isn't she spayed? She's old enough, call the vet and make an appt.
