The time when a dog is in estrus is affected by many factors
If when we If you find that your dog's temperament suddenly becomes irritable, likes to yell, often sits and is anxious, and its appetite begins to decrease, then it is probably not caused by disease, but that our dog is in heat. The estrus cycle and ovulation time of dogs are very different from other animals. The ovulation time also changes greatly during the estrus period, so it is difficult for many owners to grasp the accurate time to breed their dogs.
When dogs mature, there will be certain differences due to the breed of dog, the way they are raised, and the surrounding environment. Generally speaking, small dogs reach sexual maturity later than larger dogs, generally around 6 months to 1 year.

Generally speaking, dogs will go into estrus twice a year. The estrus cycle can be divided into pre-estrus, estrus, post-estrus and interruption period. The time for female dogs to be bred is usually during the estrus period, usually around 9 days, which will naturally be longer or shorter due to individual differences. Some female dogs will still accept mating even if they reach the late stage of estrus, but this is no longer the best time for mating.

Observing the ice-like accumulation of vaginal mucosal cells and measuring the amount of progesterone can better predict the time of ovulation. However, as the progesterone level increases,It began to rise and became difficult to predict.
