She will come into her for heat cycle around 6 months of age. You will know she is in because she will start to bleed just like a human.

Oh believe me, you will know!
The first heat can be anywhere from 6 to 12 months of age, usually it's around 6 -8 months. She will start spotting blood. You will need have to watch her like a hawk when she goes outdoors, males can scent a female from as much as 5 miles away. Don't leave her alone for a second!
Indoors, you can use sanitary pads and panties for dogs, if neccessary. It's easiest to gate off most of the house, and keep her confined to the kitchen where it's easier to clean up. I crate my girls at night, so they are more comfortable and are not messing all over the house.
Good luck, it's a long three weeks!

Most bitches have their 1st season 6 - 18 months old. She will have a red discharge for the first 10 days or so, this will gradually become lighter in colour then the discharge will stop or reduce greatly- this is when she is ready for mating & the time you must be most vigilent in not leaving her alone outside anywhere. To be safe, don't take her where there are male dogs for 28 days after you first see a discharge.

she should come into season about 9-12months as she's a bigger breed,some bitches dont come into season untill after there a yr old though my ***** was 14months,it depends on how there mother was with seasons.You can get a female spayed at 6months now which is obviously the best bet for future confinement.You must keep her in during her season and waks should be lead only and if possible avoid other dogs during her heat.You can also buy sanitary knickers for bitches in season and even though they look a bit silly on it stops the mess around the house and if she was caught for any reason she cant get pregnent,you can buy them from pets at home and good pet shops.Good luck

They usually come into season at around 6 to 12 months but some do take longer. You will notice spots of blood in her bed or around the house you can normally see some swelling from her privates as well.
