Your female dog can become pregnant while bleeding. Even if breeding occurred on the first day of her heat. For smaller dogs, we recommend to spay at 6 months or just prior to their first heat. Please work with your vet on the best timing for spay surgery.
Can dogs mate if the female is still bleeding?
From the beginning of the heat period she will be attractive to male dogs, but will usually not be receptive, or allow mating, until about 7-10 days later. The discharge will usually become less bloodstained at this time. Some females experience heavy vaginal bleeding during oestrus.

Can dogs only get pregnant while bleeding?
NO! Female dogs have four stages in their reproductive cycle, which denote their ability to breed, successfully fertilize, and birth puppies. We may be familiar with the term in heat or ovulating, but to veterinarians, being in heat or season is referred to as the estrus cycle.
