Awww, hooray for you! Wow, a whole year in between heat cycles huh? Good luck to you with the breeding & hopefully success with a pregnancy.
I am also feeling the anticipation you have been going through. Except mine is in waiting for my little one's 1st heat.....so that I can then anticipate her second when I can breed her with my male. She is 8 months old now, so I'm hoping her first heat cycle will be here within the next month or so, though I know it could be longer. I am just so anxious to see the babies she and my little male will make.
