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.
When does a dog first come into heat? Female dogs come into their first heat between 6 and 24 months of age, with small breeds coming into heat sooner and large breeds later. Shouldnât my dog have at least one heat cycle? No! There is no medical reason for a dog to experience a heat. In fact, having your dog spayed before its first heat significantly reduces many health risks later in life.
