I have always heard around 6 months. Then on this forum, I've heard from 6 months up to one year old. Well, my Sapphire (who turned 1 back in September) has still not shown any signs of her first heat. I guess some dogs don't bleed that much, but she never really appearded "swollen" either. I also have males around, and I'm sure one of them would have "alerted" me that she was in heat. So, I just don't know anymore! |
