Dogs usually have "heat cycles" every 6 months. Your baby may get a bit "testy" PMS type attitude when getting ready to go into heat. Keep her off of your furniture or put a old heavy blanket down. There are products you can purchase to catch the discharge if your girl will tolerate that. My girls have bleeding for about 10 days, after that point they are at the breeding stage which is where you really have to watch for any males around so she doesn't get bred unintentionally. If your dog is your pet & you do not wish to breed her, I would have her spayed after her heat cycle is over. It makes life MUCH easier.
