My dog was bred, now she's bleeding again. Is she pregnant or in heat?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My dog arrived from Russia Nov 17th and I noticed that she was bleeding on Monday Nov 20th. So its her heat of course. Breeder told me that she started her heat started several days before shipping her to me. Said no blood but knew the signs. Well on Nov 22nd she was bred. Then on Nov 30th I believe she was done with her heat because the male lost interest in her. So after that everything was going good. Then on Dec 16th I noticed she was bleeding. Why is this?

It's very abnormal, it's either because of another heat cycle which will mean she is not pregnant or because the pregnancy was terminated prematurely. an ultrasound at your vet's can shed some light on this.
