they usually bleed for 9 -10 days and then breed from the 11th day and then for the next 5-10 days...the old book says she will breed on the 11th day...but If I am traveling far I would check to make sure she is backing up to a male and flagging/ posing...I also check with my hand to see if she responds...I wait and extra day before I take the trip and breed her on the second or third day when she wants a male...but if you can leave her for a couple 2-3 days is best...breeding every other day is a good system also.

but leaving her with the male for 3 or 4 days is probably best...

most books will give the average...some dogs stay in heat 1 day and some heats are silent...but always bet on the averages...

good luck...that is a great looking gyp...the best mtn cur gyp I had looked like that but with the 4 inch tail and a little more ear and nose...
