Not until 12-14 mths of age. And the best thing is you don't have to guess. Just take a lateral Xray of the tibia. The tibial growth plate is the last to close, and once this closes you know all others have
And definitely wait until she weighs more and is older. Just read what I caution about keeping them safe over their first heat.
