Question
when does a regular female boston terrier start to menstruate? at what age in months or in weeks? so i can prepare myself... thank you

Answer
Hi Meil, The Boston Terrier breed will go into the first heat or season around 9-12 months.  
Many will go into season around 12 months.  It's hard to pin point with each pet.
Be ready with the following items:
Here are some cute In-Season dog panties

( also, make sure you have the pads that go into the panties)

She will be IN-Season for at least 22 days.  (not all of the days will be bleeding)
Her bleeding can be very light for many of the days.  She may need to wear a pad on at least 5 of the bleeding days.

HOPE this helps.
