My black lab will be 2 years old next month and she hasn't had a season yet.

I thought she may be coming into season last Sept as my male dog kept sniffing her, but nothing happened. Do you think she may have had a 'silent season' or do you think there could be something wrong (she is in excellent heath/ideal weight/hip and eye tested).

She is a beautiful sweet natured dog and I would really love her to have a litter of puppies so that I can keep her line going.

Am I being over anxious or do you think I should take her to the vets for a check up?

i have heard that sometimes a bitch can have a dry season.
i would ask your vet just to make sure.
if you have a male dog then he would be going crazy if she was in season and he would not be leaving her alone.

Our Daisy ( golden lab ) is 13 months old and as far as we know she hasnt had a season yet either . our vet said she may have had a secret season we did not notice but we have never had problems ever with her at any time and male dogs .We dont intend to breed either of our labs so we will be having them spayed later in April .

If I took her to the vets, does anyone know what kind of tests they would do?

no sorry i dont......you could try one of the online vets and ask them

probably do some blood tests to test her hormone level - I have a friend whose welsh springer didnt have her first season until the age of 3. There is some homeopathic stuff that you can give to try and balance the hormone level and bring her in here is the link it may be worth a read
