As a rule of thumb, most female dogs come into their first season at around 6 months of age. Following that, they should experience estrus at around 6 month intervals. Having said that, the times for both can vary greatly, but our experience here in the U.S. pretty much follows the pattern described...
my dog had her first season at 6 months, and 9-12 month intervals after, there is no SET distance of time, but longer than 12 months i'd say you have a problem, get her checked out incase she has something wrong.
Usually the first season can be any time between 6 months and a year, and approximately every six months after that, but each season can be different, and each bitch can be different. Of course she may never have had one yet, but I don't know why you think the owner might lie. It doesn't matter when they have them, and some bitches are only yearly.
Can I be picky,and ask you to just put the title of your question in the box,and not the whole question (which should go in the large box below the title box).
If you put your whole question in the title box it pushes most of the Latest Post entries (top right) completely off their page.
Thank You.
