Nikki (Border Collie) finally got her first heat at exactly 13 months of age Dec 10 . I have read so many different articles and none say the same thing . Can you tell me please how long will she be spotting for ?
Thank you
BTW ,doggie diapers are a God send . :wink:
For those who are wondering, no, we are not going to breed her .We would never be that irresponsible to pass those genetic defects onto someone else. She will be spayed after her heat is finished. Speaking to many oncologists they suggest one heat to help a female develop antibodies/resistance to prevent transitional cell carcinoma (bladder/urethra cancer) which is what we lost Steffie from. She had been spayed at 4 months of age .
