Question
MY BOXER IS 1YEAR 2MONTHS OF AGE SHE WAS NOT HAD A HEAT....I ALSO OWN A
3YEAR OLD MALE BOXER, HE TRIES TO JUMP ON HER BUT NOTHING HAPPENS...WE
HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE HAD HER FIRST HEAT BY THIS TIME.
IS IT POSSIBLE SHE WAS SPADE BEFORE WE GOT HER SHE WAS 2 AND A HALF
MONTHS OLD?


Answer
Hi. I don't think that she was spayed. Some females just don't go into heat until later, sometimes much later. I had a female that didn't go into heat for the first time until she was 2 1/2 years old. I had tests done on her to see if something was wrong with her, and she was fine. Which is a good thing, as they shouldn't be bred until they're atleast two years of age. If she doesn't come into season by the time she's two, you may want to take her in for a check up just to make sure that everything's ok. Good luck!
