Lets see.... They can go into heat as young as 6 months or as old as 1 1/2 years old(in very extreme cases) The normal time for her first heat is 8-12 months old. You should wait for her second heat or until she's 2 years old to breed her so she's fully mature. Watch for swelling of the vulva and vaginal bleeding. Once you see these signs it will be between 2-20 days before she will allow breeding. (the average is 9-14 days) Breeding is as you can see is very complicated and should be considered very carefully.

My female is 1 year old this month and still has not gone into heat. She is a chipoo and lives in the house with two male chihuahuas. I keep looking for signs, but none. Should I take her back to the vet?
