I know you breed toy poodles the 12th – 14th day of heat. I want to breed my American Cocker Spaniel her next heat and need to know what days are best. All I have found on the internet is to breed the middle week of the 3 week heat. I need to travel to breed her so I need more specifics. Thank you for any info.

if you do not know this question then you should not be breeding dogs! pretty plain and simple.The average heat cycle for a dog is approximately 3 weeks and since this an an average, some heats are shorter (as little as 7-10 days), others are longer (4 weeks or more).
Average times between heat periods is seven months but some dogs can cycle as early as every 4 months, some once a year.The first part of heat you will notice bleeding from the vulva, swelling of the vulva, possible increase in urination and the most noticeable, male dogs hanging around the house. During this period (proestrus), females will not allow the males to breed with them although the males will be very persistent.The second part or estrus is the time in which the female will allow the male to breed her and this can last anywhere from 4-21 days. A female, most of the time, will allow most any male to breed during this time. As the female starts to go out of heat or enter diestrus, she will be less willing to breed.

9th to the 13th is the norm

You don’t unless both your dog and the stud dog has had genetic testing testing done prior to mating.

Just as with human females, there is no ‘set’ day of the cycle, as some last much longer than others..By the time she is mature enough to breed, you will know which days she is receptive, and how long her ‘heat’ season is…She will be receptive a day or 2 after the discharge is not blood tinged, when it becomes clear straw colored..that is most commonly about 9 days after the blood tinged discharge begins..but can vary with individuals,,

You breeeding with a cocker spaiel is disgusting and sick. Stick with your own species for God sake!

You don’t. You visit a dog pound, and witness the at least 21 dogs that are about to be put to sleep. This will then make you realise, that although puppies are cute, and money creators, there are far too many dogs in this world. Until rescues and pounds are empty world wide, there is no reason to breed. For people like me who work tirelessly to try and save these poor dogs from dying, it is a severe let down that people still continue to breed. By breeding, you are making the small chance of a pound dog living any longer than seven days, even smaller. The ones in rescue kennels, are safe, but soon become depressed, as they need lots more love and attention that us people can give them.
DON’T BREED OR BUY WHILE HOMELESS ANIMALS DIE.

You’ve gotta be joking! If you have to ask this question, then you shouldn’t be breeding your dog at all. You are what I call a backyard breeder. And that’s really too bad with all the information and numbers out there today.
There are too many unwanted dogs sitting in kennels and shelters all around America because of back yard breeding.
Are you prepared to sink a bank roll into each pup prior to sale and have all the pups x-rayed for any bone and joint problems? Are you going to have blood work done on all of them and have their hearts and lungs checked prior to sale? Will you do any genetics testing to make sure there aren’t any genetic abnormalities passed down? Are you going to keep them with the mother for at least 12 weeks maybe longer (so they learn how to be a dog and get what they need from her. Were you even aware 8 weeks really is too soon to part pup and mum?), and are you going get them all their shots and have them wormed before you let them go? Are you going to have people sign a contract and give them at least a one year guarantee with the knowledge that they can return the dog for a refund or another dog (i.e. are you willing to stand by your product)?
Some breeders give up to a 5 year guarantee and still some have contracts stating the dog can be returned no matter how old it is if it prevents it from being taken to a shelter. Are you willing to take your dogs back? And yes purebred dogs are in shelters right along side mutts.
Do you have a home for each puppy set, ready and waiting? Deposits paid?
Or are you just going to breed her with some male who’s cute and that’s all you know about him.. and then HOPE to sell them without a veterinary health guarantee and no refund option? And the ones you don’t sell..what about them? To a shelter or worse..a pet store?
RESPONSIBLE breeding is not cheap and it really doesn’t generate a lot of money if you do all the proper veterinary testing and offer a refund.
Don’t breed her at all.. spay her and leave it to the professionals (no, I am not a breeder).
Also, I am disappointed in the people who call themselves breeders that encouraged you, instead of telling you the right and responsible thing to do is spay your dog. Kudos’ to those that did!

dogs have two weeks of being in heat. One week they bleed and the other they don’t. they want to breed more when there bleeding . the first week.
