How common is it that a bitch will spot after she has been bred. She was IA the first of this month and she is still spotting. I thought they quit bleeding before they are ready to breed. Does anyone have any insight on this?
Thanks, I will do that. I hope that is not what it is. However, she is very active, in fact I would say hyper. She wears my 6 month old bully out. That is one of the reasons we decided to breed her in hopes to settle her down some. This was her second heat and she didn't do that with her first time. Is this a condition that could just happen?

She could be having a split heat. Or there could be an open pyometra-an infection in the uterus with an open cervex. A white count at the vet is in order as pyometra can be very dangerous as it tends to be a "silent" condition exhibiting very few outward symptoms. Sometimes only lethargy is seen until the dog collapses with massive internal infection. Sometimes the only thing that will save the dog is an emergency spay if the uterus cannot be drained and cleaned of the infection. Better safe than sorry...have her white count checked for elevation above normal.
