The estrus phase of a canine heat cycle lasts anywhere from two to four weeks, after which the dog enters a pregnancy or resting phase. You and your dog will be better prepared for any unexpected changes in behaviour or difficulties if you know what to expect throughout this period.

The initial canine heat cycle typically lasts between three and four weeks. After a dog goes through its first heat, further heats occur every 4-8 months or around twice a year. Although some dogs' cycles are quite predictable, others may show some fluctuation; this is usually not indicative of any serious underlying health issues.

Just as with any other breed of dog, the age at which a Bassett terrier reaches sexual maturity might vary. Male dogs reach sexual maturity between the ages of 6 and 12 months, whereas female dogs do so between the ages of 6 and 18 months.

It cannot be emphasized enough that all breeding activities should be supervised by a qualified veterinarian or breeder. Male and female dogs should be in excellent condition, have passed a genetic screening, and have appropriate temperaments before being considered for breeding.

The hazards and responsibilities of breeding should also be carefully considered, including the possibility of health problems or undesired litters. Spaying or neutering your Bassеtoodle is suggested for those without breeding expertise to prevent undesired litters and health problems.
