I think the "period" you are referring to is the time that a female dog goes into what most people call "heat".  This is when you want to keep her away from males, unless you want pups, that is.  It shouldn't last very long.

Usually a dogs period last from 6 to 21 days, the last couple of days of her period is the time you want to keep her away from male dogs.

their heat lasts for 3 weeks, the first being the swelling and no bleeding, the second will be the bleeding. The third being the discharge in which she is able to get pregnant.

Actually,
   I female dog's period lasts about 2-4 weeks depending on the dog, not the breed. Your female dog could get her period every 4 months, every 7 months or even once a year. I don't suggest spaying or neutering, but if you don't want an unexpected litter of pups to show up this is the best answer (spaying). It all depends on the dog! If you do want to breed your dog please don't be greedy and allow your dog 2 years before breeding. My boxer who is going to be 1 years old in 2 days is going through her heat. I won't allow her to breed until atleast 2 years old.

Dogs stay in heat for about 3 weeks. the best thing to do is place your dog in a confined area where you can clean up after her easily. Lay down a blanket or towel for your dog to lay on. After about 3 weeks of this, you'll notice that your not cleaning up anything like blood after her, her period is over. IT takes a dog about 16 weeks to develope a period.
or other wise, go through heat. This is the time you should keep your dog away from males unless you plan to multiply. Another option is having your dog spayed. Good Luck with your new dog :]

General Information

Estrus ("heat") is the mating period of female animals. When estrus occurs, animals are said to be "in heat" or "in season." Dogs generally have their first estrous cycle at 6-12 months of age. Some females of the large breeds, however, may not have their first estrus until they are 12-24 months of age.

The complete cycle takes about 6 months, resulting in 2 estrous periods each year. Individual variation occurs, but a given female's pattern tends to be repeated regularly.

The estrous cycle can be divided into 4 stages:

1. Proestrus: This stage begins with the appearance of vaginal bleeding. It normally lasts from 4 to 9 days. Male dogs become very interested in the female; however, she will not yet mate with them.

2. Estrus: This is the stage in which the female will accept the male and conception can occur. The vaginal discharge is more yellowish than bloody. Ordinarily, the stage lasts for 4 to 13 days. Your female will stand still and hold her tail to the side when you touch her back or a male dog tries to mount.

3. and 4. Metestrus and anestrus: These 2 stages are periods of ovarian activity, but with no significant outward signs. False pregnancies frequently occur during metestrus.

Some Important Points

* You should consider your pet to be "in season" for 21 days: 7 days coming into heat, 7 days in heat, 7 days going out. Though conception is most likely during the middle 7 days, Mother Nature doesn't always follow the rules. Confine your pet for the entire 3 weeks.

* Remember that the above information is general. Not all females follow these patterns. Consult with the doctor if your pet does not seem typical. Sometimes, cycling problems can be an early warning of more serious problems, and the sooner they are dealt with, the better.
