When that happens, the skin protein called keratin plug the hair follicles leading to small goose bumps like rough bumps. According to the Mayo clinic, the bumps are usually white or red in color and typically occur on the upper arms, cheeks, legs, and buttocks.
In general, the smaller the dog, the earlier the first heat will occur. Toy Poodles and Miniatures have their first heat between 4 and 7 months old. Standard Poodles have their first heat between 7 and 15 months old.There are late bloomers, however it is rare for a Toy or Mini to go beyond 8 months or a Standard to go beyond 2 years without entering into a heat season.If your female Poodle is not yet spayed and has not had signs of heat by this age, you will want to bring this to the attention of the veterinarian.he first cycle is not a good indication of how future cycles will be. Once a dog matures and reaches the age of 2 years old, the cycles will begin to become more regular and last for roughly the same amount of time for each one. A canine will enter heat 2 times per year.
