Each bitch is different. I keep mine confined for 4 weeks. Most cycles are about 3 wks., but Jill was one to be fertile on day 21. We'd have had an 'oops litter' if I'd followed the 3 wk. rule. Unless, you plan to spring for expensive progesterone testing to find out her fertile time, I'd err on the side of caution and keep her confined for a month - never off leash.

I've not seen crankiness in mine, but others have. If mine show a personality change it would be that they get a bit clingy...
