Answer 1

It depends on where you live and what the weather is like, to a degree....as well as individualities in her. (Female humans don't all hit puberty at the same age, either.)

If it's spring or summer, anytime after around 6 months is fair game. Many larger breeds don't come into their first heat until around a year old, however....especially if the 6-9 months age happens to hit in the middle of winter.

Unless she has been screened and deemed breeding-quality, you should really consider having her spayed before her first heat cycle. Doing so makes her chances of getting breast cancer later in life almost zero. Coming into heat even just once raises it significantly, even if she's spayed after that. The odds go up with each subsequent heat cycle for the first couple of years.

Females spayed at a young age live longer and have fewer medical problems throughout their lifetime. And it's not like there's a shortage of Dobermans (or dogs in general) or anything. You should really ask your own veterinarian about it.

Now, if she is an impeccable example of the ideal breed standard, then having her reproduce would certainly be a good thing. :-) I'm very partial to Dobermans....they are one of the best breeds ever, but they were almost ruined by indiscriminate breeding of uneducated people back when they reached their height of popularity in the 80s. Please don't be a contributor to that. We are just now getting them straightened back out.

I have never used those type of pills nor would I ever. You are correct that b*tches it is used on may never be able to conceive. It also has many serious health implications. The most common used is Megestrol Acetate (trade name Ovaban) side effect for this drug include mammary tumors; bone marrow suppression; uterine changes, Addison's disease, diabetes mellitus, and liver damage. In my opinion there is absolutely no reason to risk a dogs health in using these drugs when proper management easily prevents pregnancy. It is simply pure laziness to do so. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a good quality b*tch that has not been treated with this medication

Answer 4

I think it's between 5 and 6 months. We have a 4 month old and are waiting too.

Answer 5

They should come into heat when they are about 6 months old. You shouldn't breed them till they are a year and a half at the youngest.

Answer 6

Oh yikes. I would never give my dogs pills to stop them from coming into heat. Gee, I would just get that dog spayed if the heat is such a problem. I don't know if anything will happen to her once you take her off the pills. Ask the Vet for his/her opinion... Obviously this kennel people don't care about the welfare & health of their dogs. All they care is about showing & winning titles?

Answer 7

Usually around 6 months to a year, altho it could happen earlier or later. You should not breed her until she is about 2.
