Toy Poodle - In Heat

20 10:37:40

Question
I am a new pet owner, my toy poodle is my first dog so I am learning things as she goes up.  At present, she is in heat - she humps the pillows all day.  I want to help her to relieve herself so my question is.........Will she get pregnant if she has sex?  Is there anything I can do for her?  How long does the heat cycle last?

Answer
OFCOURSE she will get pregnant if she has sex.  That is just like a human.  No there is nothing you can do for her.  You should not be breeding her.  I would have her spayed immediately after she is done with her cycle.  Usually cycles last around 3 weeks.  SO keep her well AWAY from ANY males!
