How many days after bleeding stops can a dog be bred?

Generally, a dog can be bred 1-2 days after the bleeding stops. The best breeding time is day 12-13 counted from the start of her period; bleeding usually tapers off a day after it begins, and breeding can happen 1-2 days after it stops.

After mating, the female often howls and may even attack the male – this likely means breeding succeeded. A successfully bred female stops being in heat, becomes restless, and strongly rejects approaching males.
