How regular are your girls' heat cycles? Mine are so off...

I have one who went in for the first time at 14 months, then again 7 months later, and now it has been 9 months since the last and no sign of it yet...

I have another who went in for the first time at 10 months, then again 6 months later, then again 6 months after that, and now it has been 8 months since her last and no sign yet...

And another who went in at 9 months and now is in again 5 months later.

What is going on with my girls??

Is it normal for them to be this sporadic?

I think that's pretty normal...Yorkies usually have their first heat between 8 and 12 months I believe...

My youngest female just started her first heat today (whee, what fun

)--she is 14 months 4 days. My other female generally goes around 8 months, give or take a few weeks.

Abby had her first heat at 18 mo. and her second heat 11 mo. later. So go figure. I tell everyone she is a holiday girl the first time was on Thanksgiving day this year it was Halloween.

So none of you breeders have irregular girls?

Not by more than about a month...although one of mine is pushing that now, so in the next week that answer may change.

Mine all have regular heats, but they are also seasoned bitches. I have a 5 mth female and I will be watching her cycle to see if its on schedule or not.

God I wish mine were like that...is it abnormal for them to do what they're doing? They were with my mentor from puppyhood through the beginning of November, and that's when I got them (except Maddie). She said they were never regular for her, but I'm hoping I can get them on a schedule. Is there anything I can do to try and keep them on track? Thanks.

What are their ages?? If they were irregular for her it could be that is just the way it is for them. I'm not sure if you can change what is meant to be with their cycles. My mentor has told me of a few tricks she used on occassion to bring on their heat cycles, but I have never used her suggested tricks. I feel if its meant for them to come into heat they will.

My lil Meka just went into her first heat (8 mo), so I have no idea of her "cycle" yet. Something I'd like to know though...

They are 2 1/2, 2 1/2, 3, and 14 months...

What are those tricks? I'd just like them to be consistent...I don't mind if they only have one once a year...I just think it would be easier if they each had one every "x" amount of months.

Please tell me, normally you would breed on at least second heat. But if your girl came in at 14 months, would you breed her on her first heat. mine came into her first heat at 7 months..then stayed on track. So that would make second heat at 14 months...just wondering. Have not had one come in at such a late time. I find this interesting.

YorkieShadow · 12-06-2007, 10:17 PM

I had one female that would come in every 6 months, I always knew her time. Now I have a female whp has split heats. urrghh.

011011 · 12-07-2007, 03:57 AM

I have one who is every 6 months and one who is every 7 months and one who is every 8 months so they are all different.I also have a pup who is 8 months and not been in heat yet.
