"Hi, our 8 month old staff x Am bulldog was in season so we thought. She didn't spot, but had a fair amount of dry blood around her fanny and was constantly cleaning and swollen. It seemed to stop or slow. It now seems to be bleeding again 4-6 week's after it began.
Still no spotting, she also has red pimple like lumps down the crease of her belly which she constantly licks as well as her fanny.
She eats well moat days, others she'snot so interested. Drinks well and is energetic still.

I would really take her to a vet about this. A dogs heat cycle should be around every 6 months (like humans that can vary) and last around 3 weeks. If she's still bleeding 6 weeks later, she needs to be looked at.
The rest of what you describe sounds like a heat cycle, but mention it to the vet because she's been bleeding for so long.

Dogs can have strange heat cycles. They can go back to back, or they can cycle every 4-6 months. Depends on their hormone levels.
A young dog having strange heat cycles is never a good start. This has her open to pyometra (Abscessed uterus) or other types of infections. She should be spayed right away.
As for the red bumps.. it sounds live hives or a rash. Due to the abnormal bleeding, you can have the bumps looked at the same time they look at her for the heat cycles.
Please do the right thing and SPAY HER. This world doesn't need anymore puppies.

We will definitely be getting her desexed. Just as she has only passed 6 months and she started bleeding spot on 6 months we have not been able to. She will be going to the vets this week for a check up
