Question
I received your message and I just want to know why you feel it is necessary to be so rude. I really can't bring myself to tolerate these 'so-called animal enthusiasts' who spend more time badgering and verbally abusing people than actually helping them and the animals in question. I never said I wanted to breed my 8 month old female and it's funny because my question wasn't directed towards you. I only asked when I could expect her first period and I gave her age as a reference point. not as a desirable age to start. so do me a favor: don't assume how responsible I am based on your assumptions and if you're going to be rude, keep your comments to yourself.

good day

Hello Noel,
I think you clicked my name by mistake instead of Labman.  I am expert Kim Wingate and I give a thorough and complete answer to every question.  I don't try to tell people what is right or wrong, but instead make suggestions as to what I think they should do.  
PLEASE make sure you are sending responses to the correct person.  

In answer to your question; A female will usually come into heat between 9 months and a year, though sometimes they can come into heat as early as 7 months or as late as 1 1/2 yrs.  A female will come into heat every 6 months after that time.  A female will stay in heat for about 3 weeks and is receptive to breeding around 9-11 days after you first see blood.  If you don't want to breed her, spaying is recommended after her first heat by most vets.
I hope this answer is more helpful than what I can only assume Labman answered.  
Thanks for using AllExperts.com
