On average an unspayed bitch goes into heat every six months, though this can vary with individual dogs. A bitch's first heat will usually occur between six and 12 months of age, but could be as early as five months or as late as 24 months.

Please note that the American Kennel Club and fanciers of the various breeds always refer to a female dog as a "bitch." As in "my bitch had 4 puppies." The male dog is referred to as a "dog." The word "bitch"used in this way is not considered inappropriate.

It depends on her breed and her as an individual. Most breeds come into heat about every six months, but some--notably the Basenji--only once per year. Other breeds vary greatly. Generally, more primitive-type dogs will come into season once a year more commonly than other breeds.

Also, if you have more than one intact female dog, there's a decent likelihood that they will all cycle close to the same time.

a female dog tends to be "in Heat" every 6 months so that means in one year.... the dog would be in heat twice per year

How many times will a cow come in season during one year?

First of all, let's do the math here. One year has 365 days, and the average estrous period of a cow is 21 days. So to find how many times a cow will go into heat in one year is 365/21 = 17 days. Thus, a cow (if not bred during that year) will go into heat 17 times in one year.
