My German Shepherd was bred. Is bleeding after mating normal for her?

Question

My 4 yr old german shepard was mated on the 9th of april and went into heat on the 1st. Two days after her vulva decreased in size and shes still bleeding/spotting. Shes not in pain at all and didnt yelp or whine when her sire entered her. We are trying to get her pregnant. Is this normal for her? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 3 months old

It sounds like you tried to mate Lez at the correct time in her cycle, and she won't necessarily stop bleeding just because she is pregnant. I would wait until at least April 22nd and then take her into the vet for a blood test. The vet can test for a hormone called relaxin which will indicate if she is pregnant or not.
