Virtually all breeds have two oestrus cycles each year. Initially, the vulva swells and within a day there is a clear discharge, which becomes tinged with blood the next day. This discharge increases in intensity and then slowly diminishes, ending after about ten days. During this time the female becomes more alert and urinates frequently, leaving signals of her impending willingness to mate. Ovulation takes place soon after the discharge has stopped. Only now will the female accept mating. Hormonal changes occur regardless of whether a female is pregnant, which is why there is no simple blood or urine tests to confirm impending motherhood.

∙ 12y agoDepends on the breed and the individual - in general, larger breeds will have their first season later; but this is not always the case! First seasons can be any time between 6 and 18 months but can be earlier/later. Beware - the first heat can sometimes be 'silent' - there will be slight mood changes and perhaps some minor swelling of the vulva, but no blood or obvious signs.
Unless you are planning to breed (which should only be done if you are fully aware of the risks involved), it is always best to get a female spayed - this prevents seasons, but also reduces the incidence of highly malignant mammary tumours and infections in the uterus (pyometra). Contact your vet for advice on this.
