Female In Heat? No Bleeding?
Submitted by mesmerizing1 on April 21, 2010 - 12:28amMy Mya is a year next month, and has not a visible heat yet. BUT the last week she's been standing for my other female. If they stand does that mean they are in fact in heat? I understand it could be a "silent" heat, but wasn't sure if they stand even when they aren't in heat? Her body is physically developing as you can tell, just no bleeding yet. As she's about to be a year she is definitely acting like a late bloomer if anything. I know it can take up to 14 months for a first heat, but was just curious?
Thanks

Re: It may be that she's getting ready to start her cycle...
I just went through my first heat with Stella (not her first though) so I was a bit unsure how she was going to behave. About a week before hand though she started becoming possessive of EVERYTHING in the house and actually refusing to stand when ever another dog walked by. The about a week into it she was presenting herself to just about anything that walked past.
It may be that she's getting ready to start her cycle...
and the other dog can sense that thru odors, but I would expect that the "standing" and licking alone isn't enough to call a silent heat happening.
