Kind of a silly question I know but would like to know!!
thanks ...
It is NOT a silly question. Females are in season for 3 wks. One wk coming in, one wk fertile, one wk going out. They come in season or heat 1-2x a yr. Some come in once a yr, some 2x a yr. Just depends.
first of all it's not a period it's an estrous cycle, more commonly referred to as being in heat.
a dog's heat cycle usually lasts 3 - 4 weeks. the first week or so she'll have a bloody discharge. during the middle stage the flow will lighten to an almost straw color. this is when she is fertile & will stand for males - don't let her out of your sight! in the last stage the flow will be bloody again.

then in about 2 months she may go through a false pregnancy. she'll gain weight & her teets may fill with milk. she may also adopt toys or household items as surrogate 'pups'. this usually only lasts a few days to a week. then about 6 weeks later - about the time any pups would be weaned - she'll blow her coat. you'll be amazed how much your girl will shed without going bald!
unless you have a "legitimate" reason to breed her, i would wait at least 2 months before having her spayed.
a female dogs period usually lasts 4 weeks and they get it twice a year.
hope this helps - i've got a lil dog called Jazz and that's hows long she gets it for.
ask a veterinarian that.

Generally, female dog complete heat cycle is around six months where there are two cycles a year. But there will be exceptions where some dogs will complete their heat cycles within four months and this will let the dog encounter more cycles per year. This is very much depending on the dog individually. But overall the pattern will not differ much. The period of heating cycles lasts for two to three weeks time.

Estrus ("heat") is the mating period of female animals. When estrus occurs, animals are said to be "in heat" or "in season." Dogs generally have their first estrous cycle at 6-12 months of age. Large breeds may not have their first estrus until they are 12-24 months of age.
Female dogs in heat are somewhat similar to a human female in menstruation. During the "heat" cycle, the dog may became pregnant.
The estrous cycle:
1. Proestrus: Starts with the appearance of vaginal bleeding. It normally lasts from 4 to 9 days. Increased swelling of the vulva and possibly an increase in urination. Male dogs become very persistent, but she will not yet mate with them.
2. Estrus: The female will accept the male and conception can occur. The vaginal discharge is more yellowish than bloody. Usually, the stage lasts for 4 to 13 days. Your female will allow any male dog to breed with her at this time.
Metestrus and anestrus: Periods of ovarian activity, but with no symptoms. False pregnancies can occur during metestrus.
Symptoms
The dog will bleed from the vagina and may have swelling of the vulva and increased urination. Small
dogs will of course have less bleeding and may be harder to spot.
