My first 2 setters I had came in exactly at a year old. Should I be worried about this? Do I need to take her to the vet?   And for those wondering why she isnt spayed yet is because I still have that dream of trying to start showing.

I would not worry until she is 2, maybe even 2 1/2. I have heard of bitches not ever coming in and some that come in once and never again, but those are few and far between. Are you sure she has not had a silent heat? Lindsay Allegro Beagles Happiness Is A Pack Of Beagles

(Kle1986) Reply Contact Would males hang around if she had silent heats?  Cuz if so then no she hasnt had any of those. I am the only person in our neighborhood that has female dogs. Everyone else has males. So as far as I know she hasnt ever been in heat. I watch her like a hawk.

She was actually very good those 3 weeks. I thought it would be a pain but she didnt mind being cooped up in the house or being leashed all the time.
