Hi Precious, Based on my personal experience with raising and breeding boxers, My female had her first heat around 12 months old. After the first heat cycle they have a heat cycle about every six months if they are not around a stud. The bleeding can last up to about two weeks If they are around a stud then this cycle can happen about once a month. If you want to eventually breed your dog I would recommend that you do it when they are at least two years old. You can go to your local pet shop and pick up a thing that acts like a diaper to make it a cleaner process. Also check wwith your vet as the time frame could be different with smaller breed dogs. I hope I helped answer your queestion.
Small dogs may cycle a little more frequently than every six months, but any dog that bleeds monthly has a problem. Most dogs are in heat for 3 weeks. They generally bleed for the first week, are most fertile the second, and may bleed a little the third .
Of course my recommendation is SPAY asap.
My boarder collie was in season 8 weeks ago for about ten days and she was only ten months. Its usually every six months.Quote:
