Sex

Female dogs often experience estrus, or heat, for two to four weeks. This is followed by either pregnancy or resting. You and your dog will be better prepared for any unexpected changes in behaviour or health if you know what to anticipate throughout this period.

It usually takes three to four weeks for a dog to go through its first heat cycle. After this first cycle, a dog's heat cycle occurs every 4–8 months, or twice a year at most. While certain canine cycles are predictable, others may fluctuate from time to time. These variances often do not indicate serious health issues.

American Bulldogs, like other canines, attain sexual maturity between the ages of 6 and 12 months. But it's important to remember that breeding should be done properly, with the goal of improving the breed rather than just cranking out more offspring.

Breeders who care about the health of their pups should carefully plan and execute breeding cycles that include extensive genetic testing and screening. When breeding American Bulldogs, it is crucial to check that both the male and female dogs are healthy and clear of any diseases that might be passed on to the puppies.

In order to guarantee that the breeding of your American Bulldog is conducted in a responsible and ethical manner, it is essential that you do your homework and speak with a veterinarian and a reputable breeder. This method protects the welfare of the parent dogs as well as any future puppies they may have.
