My dog gave birth 4 mothes ago and still is not in heat yet . I've herad it takes up to 5-7 months or when her puppies matuere for her to get back in heat.
Age of the pups has nothing to do with it. It's the body cycle of the female that determines this. Most females will come back in season 180 days after the first breeding, but this is not etched in stone. Some females only cycle once a year and some will cycle 3 times a year. So it depended on the specific dog, not even specific breeds.

Female dogs go through a heat cycle, called estrus, every six months. So after having puppies, after six months the heat cycle begins again.
They typically go into heat about every six months. Thus, even after pregnancy, she will go into heat again within this time frame. The time of heat will last between 18 and 22 days.
Usually six months.
As a rule, Dogs come in 'HEAT' twice a year. They generally can have puppies after they are 1 year old, and every year after that. One litter a year usually. It is recommended that dogs don't get pregnant the first time they come in Heat.
Unless you're intending to have a litter of puppies, it's definitely recommended.
The average age for a first heat cycle is around 6 months of age. Although, larger breeds can have their first heat stage as late as 18 mths.
For small breeds, female puppies can come into heat at 5-6months, and, if bred, can have a litter at 7-8months. Most breeds over 35lbs at adult weight do not come into heat till 7-9months, some later. However, do not allow puppies to breed this young. Sibling puppies WILL mate as soon as they have a chance.
My Lhassa Apso Tinsel was on heat for 17 days....and she mated with my male on the 17th day.....so hopefully we will have a litter from her for the first time.i was,nt really bothered about breeding her as this is her first time....my other Lhassa Hollie had a litter in Janruary 2011 they were a beautifull litter of four puppies....i did sell three of them .i do keep in touch with the buyers.i am very fussy who i sell my puppies too and i cried when each one of the puppies left.i only caged my puppies at night for safety.i loved having them running around and they was such happy puppies.again hollie mated on the 15th day only and had four puppies......regards Wyn
Yes but its hard on a chihuahua,Mine is prengant for the 2nd time and i`m going to have her spayed when shes done with these.
Well, it depends on the day of heat they bred. Schanuzers can have between 1-10 babies.....
LITTERS ARE THE PUPPIES OR KITTENS THAT DOGS AND CATS HAVE It depends on when you want to start birthing the litters and end them. If you want to birth them for 3 years, they can have 6 litters. Dogs only come into heat 2 times a year, so they wont have many. You shouldn't breed your dog the first heat, or let them birth puppies after the 3rd year. If you fail to do this, it could cause premature babies and health problems (back and hip problems) in the mother dog and can result in death.
They usually go back into heat 4-6 months after delivering. 6 months after she came in heat last, it never changes even if she has puppies, she should come in heat when her puppies are around 4 months old.
I don't know but we have two and one came from a litter of seven.I'd actually like to find out cuz one of mines in heat and we want them to breed!
I've never heard of 2 male dogs mating one female at the same time... however it is my understanding that should a female mate with 2 different dogs during her heat it is possible that she could have puppies to both dogs, meaning her one litter of puppies could have different fathers
Cats have a gestation of nine weeks and generally wean the kittens by eight weeks or so. They can come into heat anytime. The environment makes a difference in heat cycles, but the general active period is December through August.
