What happens if I don't breed my female dog when she's in heat ?

Hello, she returns to not being in heat until her next heat. Dogs do not need to be bred at every heat period. Hormonally, her estrus will drop and her progesterone will remain high for several months. During this time she cannot be bred until her next heat cycle. Hopes this helps.
