Carolyn, While most of my bitches come in right around 14 months, I did have one girl that came into her first heat at 23 months. CandyZ candiasgsd.com > We have a young friend with a really nice young bitch that is 20 months old and never > had a season. Our bitches usually have their first season around 12 - 14 months and > typically every season after that is six months. > At the advice of a few Repro Vets we have the bitch here with our two males to get her > away from her dominant Dam and around males hoping to get her to come into season. > Has anyone else had experience with bitches coming into season very late the very first > time to know if this is normal within some lines or some bitches? > The Vets seem to think he may have missed a 'silent season'.......and we really don't think > so........but having no experience with that myself with our bitches..... I > am wondering if that > means this bitch could have another silent season or will they become more normal with > each season. Any help or experiences or advice appreciated. > > Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > www.Marhaven.com > > > ================================================= =========================== > POST is Copyrighted 2008.
