Fox Terrier-cycle

Question
How old usually is a fox terrier when they stop going in heat.  Mine is around 11, almost 12 and doesn't really bleed any more but apparently is still going in heat.  We now have a male dog who right now follows her every where.  So far I've kept them apart...thank goodness.

Answer
Trena -

Dogs do not menopause like humans do, though her cycles may become less frequent.

Obviously at her age it is essential to make sure she does not get pregnant.... I would recommend neutering the male. He will live longer and be healthier, and you won't have to worry about your female.  Takes care of all of the issues at once !

Good luck
