Normal age of first season?
My girl is 14 months old next week and hasn't had her first season - what sort of age is normal? I was told 8 months - 1 year so just wondering! She's a cocker spaniel btw.

Not sure if it differs from breed to breed but Penny is a Bichon X King charles spaniel and she had her first season last month when she was just over 8 months old

Re: Normal age of first season?
Willow was 8 months when she had her first season but then exactly 6 months to her next one. As you can see from above it does vary from dog to dog.

Re: Normal age of first season?
In truth, you may as well ask how long is a piece of string

My eldest girl had her first season at 9 months, her daughter at just over 6 months, her other daughter at 11.5 months and still waiting for the grand-daughter at 11 months.

My (unrelated) girl was 15 months and a friends dog was 22 months, in contrast another friends girl had her first season at 5 months

To my mind this is one reason why the vet's idea of 'blanket spay' at 6 months is not good - because they mature at such very different rates, with some girls not hitting maturity for as much as 12 months or more after the 6 month benchmark.
