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.
every time he has a period
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.
A dogs menstraual cycle (called 'heat')lasts 3 weeks...1 week going into it, 1 week on it, and 1 week going out of it. In 120 das, they will have another one. They only go into heat 2 times a year. Keep her away from any males if it is the first one, but only if you want to breed her. If you dont want to breed her, i suggest getting her fixed soon after she goes out of heat.
no she is to young
The 12th to 23rd of every month.
6 month i think
well mine is 8 months and she still hasent..she should anytime soon.

I'm very curious about this as my 6 month old puppy is all of a sudden very sullen. She has not yet had her first heat and doesn't show any signs.
Once every six months on average for about two weeks.
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.
plain and simple, they aren't. Heat causes breathing problems and they have no undercoat to keep them warm when its cold. I highly recommend keeping your boxer in a climate controlled environment.
A male and female boxer will try to mate with their own puppies once the puppies go into heat.

If you buy the UK version, no, they have changed all the ingredients and it is useless now. If you can get it from the USA then yes as their version hasnt changed, odd I know
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.
They start around 6-8 months of age and a heat lasts 3 weeks. Their heat cycle doesnt run every month like a humans, but every 6 months. (Lucky little things)
