Briards

[barender]

My friend has a Briard pup - well she's 15 mths old now - but has not yet had her first season. We both thought that even large breeds of dogs had their first season by around one year old (my German Shepherd did). Does anyone know the average age to expect this breed to have their first season?

I don't know about Briards, but dogs in general can have their first heat anywhere between 5 and 18 months.

 I am knew to this sight hence why the reply has taken ages...in the past i have had a old english sheepdog and i was a little worried after 1 year that she hadnt had a season but the advice i was given was anything up to 18 months is normal she had her first season at 16 months.... hope this helps but if you are still worried contact your breeder they should be pleased you asked the question and help accordingly .
