Average age of !!!!! for 1st season.

BabyElephant

Is she a working strain cocker? My friend breeds them and one of her girls didn't have her first season until very very late (around 2 years of age). Her other !!!!!es also only had a season once a year as well.

I would definitely recommend getting her spayed. I have pictures of my dog when we brought her home and showing healing progress of the surgery site if anybody is really interested

if your not breeding from her deffo get her speyed my old westie blees her not around anymore got mammory gland cancer 2 ops she had and the lumps still kept coming never again unless you are breeding from them would not have them neutured,now i have 2 jacks and the female one was neutured at 18 months and had three seasons in that time,nightmare she was humping everything in sight she was such a pest so for the dog i think its best .

sorry what i meant typing error was its worth having them neutured to stop cancer or prevent it unless you are breeding from them.

Some b*tches have hidden seasons, and you wouldn't know unless you were really looking for it, especially for the first season or two. Some produce virtually no blood, and if they keep themselves clean you might never see any. The swelling in that area can be a lot less than people expect, and you wouldn't always notice it, especially if they are long haired or fluffy.

So it's possible she's already had one and you just didn't know about it.

On the other hand some b*tches just never have a season, they can have gynae problems, just like people can.

If you intend to get her spayed anyway, there's no major advantage in waiting now, so speak to your vet about it.

Definitely spay and don't wait - hidden seasons are just that Hidden :rotfl: seriously they can be very hard to spot even for vets
We adopted out dog at just about a year old and she was in season when we got her (very against RSPCA rules to home whilst in season but she has severe kennel stress as well as other problems) and as soon as she had finished her season we waited the required amount of time waiting for nature to take it's course and swelling to go back down... and in she went to be snipped! Never regretted it for a second!

Our little menace came into season about a week ago and she's one in a couple of weeks.

We got our 1 year old staff neutered at 4 months. Before her first season. There seemed to be so many debates as to when to do it. But she seems okay. Still looks puppy like though, not sure if that's due to being spayed early or that she just hasn't grown up yet!
