My dog came in heat for the first time at 6 months old and she is now 14 months old and has not come back in heat, is this normal or should I take her to the vet?

I have the same issue with my Toy Poodle; she should have gone into heat sometime in December but here it is February and she still hasn't gone into heat. I'm personally not concerned about it, I don't think that it's any reason to take her to the vet.

If she's a large breed, she can go much longer than 6 months between cycles. Or, she could have had a silent heat which is dangerous because you don't know she's in heat until it's too late and you've got unwanted puppies. If that's the case, it would be much, much safer to have her spayed.
