Quazaa Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I have a 16 month old bitch who has yet to have a heat. Recently shes had some very weird behaviour. Shes been mounting my dog all the time. Now i have had a bitch on heat to my place to be bred to my dog and shes basically hunts this bitch like she is male...clawing at the cage that shes in when the bitch on heat sits in the cage shes at her back with her nose trying toget a wiff....when i had them running together (cos htey get along and was utalizing the bitch on heat to try bring her in) she follwed her around with her nose under her tail and when she stopped would mount and hump her all the time ... is it possible shes got high testosterone levels and is barren and will never have a heat? I remember living on a dair years ago having a barren heifer who looked very bully and had lots of tuck up....shes a big girl and also has lots of belly tuck up..... any ideas etc Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Maybe go to a reproductive vet and get blood tests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) some breeds mature late, my bitch didn't have her 1st season until 16 months old, her daughter was 2 1/2 years old! agree with getting blood tests and mounting and humping is not always a sexual thing, your girl could be trying to be top dog.

Starkehre Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'll hazard a guess and say that your bitch will have her first season within the next 2/3 weeks. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Some bitches are just as interested as dogs are with other bitches in season. Doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the bitch. I agree with dyzney - you might just find your bitch comes into season herself soon! If you are concerned you should take your bitch to a repro.specialist vet and get their advice.

lappiemum Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 when one of my girls is in season its lesbian action at my place LOL I'm with dyzney - I don't think your girl is far off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redial Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 One of my friend's dogs (Bull Mastiff) didn't come into heat until she was 2 years old. What breed of dog is she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Baggins Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 My White Shepherd has tested at 2 1/2 years because she had not had a season. She was normal so had a stimulated cycle. Came on heat naturally 7 months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quazaa Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thank you everyone for the responces ill give her a few weeks now to see if she comes on heat after having the bitch on heat here ..however the humping of other dogs has been going on for a while now and i dont think its a dominace thing cos shes only been doing it for the past month or so and shes lived with this male forever.

persephone Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 cos shes only been doing it for the past month or so Could well be a hormonal thing then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I'll hazard a guess and say that your bitch will have her first season within the next 2/3 weeks. ;) I was going to guess within the month LOL If she starts acting a little funny, jumps at her own shaddow, acts like she's been flogged and behaves out of the norm, it's another indication that they are coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra777 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 the humping of other dogs has been going on for a while now and i dont think its a dominace thing cos shes only been doing it for the past month or so and shes lived with this male forever. Doesn't mean it's not dominance as she's only just getting to an age where she's an adult herself and is starting to decide she is the dominant one. Me, I'd put money on her being in season soo too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one was on heat, every rat wanted to mount her... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) 15 months is young for a first season in some breeds. ;) I wouldn't write her off as infertile either, it sounds like hormones are just starting tokick in.

Crisovar Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have had bitch lines that 18 months of age was the norm for a first season. The other behaviour wouldn't worry me either, but yep I'd bet she'll be in very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
