A dog owner should have an idea when the pet will go into heat. The reproductive cycle varies from breed to breed. Generally puberty will occur as early as 6 to 12 months in small breeds and as late as 2 years in large breeds.
Dogs hit puberty â that is, come into heat for the first time â somewhere between eight and fourteen months of age although, in rare cases, an individual can reach puberty as early as six months or as late as two years. The second heat of your dog will give you an indication of her heat interval. This can vary between four and twelve months. However, the interval you record for your dog, whatever it is, tends to be fairly constant. So, if your pet had her second heat five months after the first, expect her to come into heat every five months going forward.
