Hi all, 
 
	I'm new to the forum. We got a Finnish Lapphund 4 weeks ago. She's 12 weeks old tomorrow. 
 
	 
 
	The breeder had me sign a contract to not desex until after 12 months. Which is fine by me. But I remember a friends female coming on heat and she dripped blood everywhere. Will that happen to my little girl too? How do I deal with that? I've seen ads for puppy underwear, will I need that? 
 
	 
 
	I rent at the moment, hoping to build in a couple of years but in the meantime I have no idea what to expect as in the past have had one female puppy desexed at 6 months or only male dogs mostly. 
 
	 
 
	Sorry, I'm a bit of a novice. 
 
	 
 
	Thanks for any replies. 
 
	Kitty.
