usually 8 months to a year
Mine didn't start until 13 months
But it can be 6 months are earlier since she hasn't it could be any day now.
How to tell...
Just prior to coming into heat, the dogs' vulva and breasts may enlarge and a bloody discharge will be seen coming from the vulva. At this point she is not yet ready to accept a male dog. When the vaginal discharge becomes more yellow in color, generally in 4 to 13 days, she will accept the male. She will accept the male for another 4 to 13 days.
And also.
Dogs generally have their puppies 58 to 68 days after they are bred. The average is 63 days.

Well, first of all.... large breeds should not be bred until at least 2 years old. It does take longer for them to mature than a toy. 6 months would be the earliest you would see the heat. 18 months would be the latest. Yours will probably go in a few months. That is totally normal and don't listen to the people who say there's something wrong with her. There isn't. I have had my females start as early as 6 months and as late as 15 months.

The average is 6 months, but it isn't unusual for large breeds such as Labs to not have theri first heat until they are 12 - 18 months old.
I recommend getting her sapyed asap before she has a heat. It will dramaticly reduce (almost eliminating it) of mammary cancer and reproductive cancers and a very serious often fatal uterine infection, pyometria.

sure, she nevertheless is going into warmth - in all likelihood two times a year. And NO, she's extra than likely too previous to be having pups. besides which, human beings should not be breeding their puppy high quality canines who've no championship, no field titles, not OFA, CERF, heart tests, thyroid tests - not something. This puppy must be spayed in case you want to guard her from getting maximum cancers or pyometra, both one in each of which will kill her.
