She is at the right age to go into heat for the first time please take her in and have her fixed!! We do not need anymore back yard breeders or puppy's that need homes

6 months is probably a bit young for a Malamute. It's easy to tell if they are in heat, because their female area, where you say the tip is red, the WHOLE this would be swollen and puffed out.

It sounds like she's going into heat - just not full blown into it yet. She'll lick herself a lot, it'll start to get red in that rea, and it may swell up. It won't start bleeding right away, but give it about a week and she'll start to bleed. If you don't want to pay the extra money to have her fixed while she's in heat, you should buy sanitary pads for her. They make them especially for dogs, just go into your local pet store and ask for sanitary pads and the 'diaper' it goes in. This well help because she won't be bleeding all over your carpet and your belongings. But you should get her fixed soon. By waiting, you increase her chances for getting cancer.

if she was in heat she would be walking around with her a** in the air .. you should get her fixed soon .. i have a 10 month old lab/pitbull puppy and we were supposed to get her fixed a few months ago but i ended up in the hospital the day before her appt. and she got her period the other day - so look into getting her fixed soon

If you take her out to dinner, and she puts her paw on your thigh and says, "let's skip the movie and go back to your place" - that's a pretty good indicator.

If there are half-a-dozen mutts hanging around and howling all night, that means she's in heat!

she will stick her butt up in the air and if you touch the back of her leg or something back there she will back away or try to get you not to touch her and sometimes in her private place will bleed just drip a little
