Please excuse my ignorance but I may as well ask this question anyway

We have a nine month old GR and she is dripping blood, this has been gong on for 3 or 4 days now.

We are assuming that this is her first period?

Having never owned a Dog before can anyone tell me if this is the case only I have known many people with Dogs and have never seen bloodstained floors before.!

Can anyone advise?

Many thanks

Better keep her away from all the randy neighbourhood dogs. I have this pleasure to come in about 4 months. Good luck
