I have two females one is around 7 months and the other around 5 months, normally how old is a dog before she comes in heat? Just want to be on the safe side when it does happen

I have a 9 1/2 month old that hasn't came in yet.

Just plan on taking her to a big important hunt that is when she will come in season! Guaranteed!

Most first seasons will come in anywhere between 6 months and a year. This will also depend on how stressed their body is. If the dog is ran hard all the time might miss the season altogether. Just like atheletes.

I got one that just hit 10 months and is coming in now.

Thanks for the replies, I have one I think might be starting, the neighbors male is getting pretty friendly.

I've got one that is almost 13 months and hasn't come in. One also that is 7 and hasn't come in. I had one a few years ago come in at 8 months.

That always works for me , then you introduce another female to the kennel and you get to lose her for 2 cycles instead of one.

Well I know for sure now, she has been in heat for like a week, and now is 9 months old. I figure the cycle should last for about 3 weeks.

yeah I agree with Wvduece 6 months to a year 7 days in 7days out &7 days in some thing like that ussaully the larger breed they seem to fall toward a year or better just wanted to give my input

ive got one first time 15months 2nd time 12 mths will be 4 in may been in twice. others ive had about 9 mths. it is best to keep up about 28 days.
