When does a Samoyed dog go into heat?
When does a Samoyed dog go into estrus? Samoyed female dogs usually go into estrus for the first time 6-8 months after birth, and will go into estrus twice a year as adults, in spring and autumn, that is, from March to May and from September to November; When a Samoyed is in heat, the vulva will be congested, secrete blood-like mucus, actively approach dogs of the opposite sex, and become excited and restless.

Female Samoyeds usually start their first estrus between 6 and 8 months after birth. At this time, the Samoyed’s body is not fully developed yet, so breeding is not recommended. After the Samoyed grows up to be an adult, he will go into estrus regularly twice a year, mainly in the spring and autumn, that is, around March-May and September-November.

Symptoms of Samoyed in heat:

In proestrus, the egg is close to maturity, the secretions from the reproductive tract increase, the vulva is congested, the vulva is swollen, flushed, wet and lubricated, and mucus mixed with blood flows.

Estrus is the period when the signs of estrus are most obvious and the female dog accepts mating. The female dog takes the initiative to approach the male dog. When the male dog climbs over, she takes the initiative to step down on her waist, facing the male dog with her buttocks, tilting her tail to one side, and opening and closing her vaginal door. , allowing mating.

In the late stage of estrus, the swelling of the vulva subsides and gradually returns to normal. The temperament becomes quiet. Do not become quiet and do not allow male dogs to approach.

During the anestrus period, the reproductive organs enter a state of inactivity. It usually lasts about 3 months, and then enters the next proestrus.
