I believe you are asking, does it throw off the normal heat cycle pattern if you breed a female, as opposed to not breeding her.
From what I have always heard, and started noticing myself, the answer would be no. You count the heat cycles from first day of blood, until first day of blood the next time, whether she got bred or not.
I had a female that would come in heat every 7 months, whether bred or not.
Some females might be different, but for the ones I have had, breeding, or not breeding, does not seem to affect when they come back in heat.

The reproductive vets say not to worry until they are 2 and haven't had a heat. Honestly I think that most of mine come in around 12-18 months for the first time. I've only had one that cycled for the first time at 9 months. So, don't worry yet ;-) I also think that time of year can have an effect on them. Just like in some other animals I notice that during the winter months we have less females coming in season.BAYOU wrote:I have a lil female now that is 11 months old and hasn't came in yet.
