A 16 month old boxer that has not had her first heat may have some type of medical problem, such as an underactive thyroid. It is also possible that she has had a "silent heat," which means that she did come into heat but showed very few signs of it. A silent heat is very easy to miss but is perfectly normal.

What age do standard female poodles come in heat?

A female dog (of any breed) first goes into heat sometime around the 6th,7th, or 8th month of age. There's no way to predict when. For this reason, it's best to have a female dog spayed before her 6th month of age. Female dogs get significant health benefits when they're spayed before the onset of their first heat cycle.

How can i get my male boxer to mate with my female boxer?

Most likely your female is not in what is referred to as "standing heat" yet. A female will be in heat for close to three weeks. During most of this time males will show interest but the female will just flirt and play with the male. For a time period of three to five days she will be in standing heat where she will present herself to the male; meaning she will actually stand there and let him mount her. To assure that a breeding takes it's not a bad idea to have them tie on the first day of the standing heat then every other day until she is not receptive any more.

Usually dogs come into heat anytime after they are about 6 month of age, their vagina will swell quite a bit, the dog will lick herself a lot, starting with a clear fluid and then blood. If you do not want the dog to go into heat have her spayed at 6 month of age or soon after the first heat.
