You can't. They usually come into heat every six months, providing they are healthy.
Because she is dominant or not in heat.
The heats are a regular cyclic occurence. you cann;t "bring it on" but you can time them an make areaosnable prediction of when they will occur.
In her second heat 9 to 13 days after she first starts bleeding.
If you do decide to get a German Shepherd puppy, you need to make sure you have the time for one. A German Shepherd is one of the world's best companions, so it is a great family dog. A female German Shepherd will be more protective of children because of their motherly instincts. A female is less likely to stray than a male. But, when it comes to protection, a female fights more in a "scappy" way. A male German Shepherd will be more protective....as they are normally used as police dogs. (I guess it must be in the hormones) Males will "fight to the death" if something is threatening you or your family. Although, even if you get the males fixed, they are likely to stray if they sense a female in heat. But, whatever gender you choose, you are getting a great dog. And, you should get them fixed to give them a longer life. I have had both females and males in my lifetime and they are both great. I think a female would be best if you have young children. But, it is you choice. I hope you enjoy your new German Shepherd puppy. =)
A female German Shepherd typically experiences a heat cycle approximately every six months, during which she is fertile for about 2 to 3 weeks. The most fertile period occurs around 10 to 14 days after the onset of her heat. During this time, she may attract male dogs and be receptive to mating. It's important to monitor her behavior and consult a veterinarian for guidance on breeding and health.
The first heat cycle for a female dog would be between 6-24 months. If she doesn't have her first cycle by then, you take a trip to the vet. And it doesn't necessarily matter what kind of dog it is to have a certain heat cycle. Hope this helps!
Whilst it is possible to breed from a German Shepherd on her first heat cycle, this is NOT advisable. As your dog is still developing at this age, if she becomes pregnant she will have to give her vital nutrients and vitamins to her growing puppies, which would stunt her growth. It may also be damaging to both her physical and mental well-being as she is too young. You should wait until she has had at least three heat cycles before breeding from her.
Keep her away from males, and try to keep her in a no carpeted aea to avoid bleeding.
A female German Shepherd can typically be bred during her heat cycle, which occurs approximately every six months. Each heat cycle lasts about three weeks, with the optimal mating time usually occurring around the 10th to 14th day. Males can mate at any time once they reach sexual maturity, usually around six months of age, and can remain fertile throughout their life.
Yes, a 10-year-old female German Shepherd can still get pregnant if she has not been spayed and is in heat. However, it's important to note that as dogs age, their fertility decreases, and there are increased health risks associated with pregnancy in older dogs. Additionally, breeding a senior dog is generally not recommended due to potential complications for both the mother and the puppies.
Female GSD's have more attitude to them and is very much a family dog. They are more stubborn and have aggression problems before/after they go into heat. Male GSD's "attach" themselves to one person who they will stalk. As long as you get them neutered from a Young age, you shouldn't have many problems.
This is possible. But mainly not till 6 to 12 months of age will you have to start to worry much
