Can a female dog get pregnant while she is bleeding?

Yes, it is possible for female dogs to get pregnant while they are bleeding, but it is less likely than during other times of their heat cycle. Female dogs typically bleed during the proestrus stage of their heat cycle, which is when their body is preparing for ovulation. This stage usually lasts for about 9 days, but it can vary from dog to dog. Ovulation usually occurs around day 11 or 12 of the heat cycle, and this is when a female dog is most fertile. However, it is possible for a female dog to become pregnant if she mates during the proestrus stage, even though she is still bleeding. This is why it is important to keep your female dog away from male dogs during the entire heat cycle, if you do not want her to get pregnant.
