When does a Doberman Pinscher go into heat?

When does a Doberman Pinscher go into estrus? Doberman Pinscher female dogs go into estrus for the first time about 6-8 months after birth. However, due to factors such as climate, environment and growth conditions, the time for estrus is 1-4 The time difference of months is normal; adult Dobermans go into estrus twice a year, usually from March to May in spring and September to November in autumn.

The first estrus of a Doberman female dog is approximately 6-8 months after birth, when the dog’s reproductive organs are basically mature. However, due to factors such as climate, environment and growth conditions, some dogs come into heat earlier, and it is normal for some dogs to not come into heat until 10-12 months after birth.

And Doberman female dogs will go into estrus twice a year, usually between March and May in spring, and between September and November in autumn. The main symptoms of estrus are that the female dog will become excited and restless, bark constantly, urinate frequently, have red mucus flowing out of the vagina, like to be close to male dogs, etc. The estrus time will last about 6-14 days.

During the period when the Doberman Pinscher is in estrus, you should pay attention to supplementing the dog with sufficient nutrition. You can feed the dog some nutritional paste, calcium powder, vitamins, etc. During estrus, if you do not plan to breed your dog, it is best to wear menstrual pants for it to prevent pregnancy and bacterial invasion. I also want to remind everyone that you need to always pay attention to the safety of your Doberman Pinscher during its estrus, because at this time, your Doberman Pinscher will sneak out to look for a mate, and it is easy for problems such as getting lost and car accidents to occur. Therefore, I hope that all owners will always pay attention to wearing a leash on their dogs when going out, and do not loosen the leash at will.
