Understanding the Cycle: How Often Does a Bitch Have He

It's a natural occurrence that female dogs will come into heat and menstruate around the month of June, as they typically reach sexual maturity at around six months of age. Generally, these female puppies will experience one to two estrous cycles annually, each lasting from one to two weeks, with the most common timing being during the winter and spring months.

It's important to note that when female puppies exhibit these signs, it indicates that they are capable of breeding. However, it is advisable not to rush into breeding them during their first estrous cycle.
