Yes, a spayed female dog stops having heat cycles (periods) because spaying surgically removes the ovaries, the source of hormones that trigger heat, meaning she won't bleed, swell, or attract males; if signs of heat occur after spaying, it's usually due to a rare ovarian remnant or a urinary issue requiring vet attention.
