I am trying to figure out why Pippa has not gone into heat yet.

Pippa's first and last heat cycle was in June (she was 9 months old). I feel like she should have come into heat already and I am becoming concerned. Should I be?

My dog was last in heat in Feb, and she just came into heat a week ago. It is common for them to cycle every 9mths, each dog is individual.

my goldens only come in every 10 mos.

Good to hear. My other two females came into heat every 6 months like clock work. I am not in any rush for her to come into heat but just wanted to make sure everything was normal.

Thank you for your reply!

Feeling much better knowing this is common.

Thanks for your reply!

Mine come in every six months. It can vary by one or two months either way....

Yes, this is what I was use to as well. I guess I will just have to wait and see what her pattern is.

Thanks for your reply!

most do come in every 6 or so months but I had a girl that came in heat only once a year for her that was normal

3 of my yorkies has their first heat at 6 months and every 6 months til they were spayed.

Roxy my littlest one and firecracker never went into heat. I was never going to bred her because she is so tiny at 3.5-4 pounds. I kept waiting for her to go into heat so that I could schedule her spay for a little over a month later but it never happened. I ended up spaying her at almost 3 when her mother went out of heat and I was spaying Cozy.

Every dog is different.

Cozy was the mom to my other 3 yorkies I kept. Of 5 females from 2 litters only Roxy never went into heat at 6 months or for that matter ever.
