When does a golden retriever go into estrus?

Golden retriever female dogs usually go into heat for the first time 8-10 months after birth. This is a common phenomenon. There are also individual golden retriever dogs that will mature early and late. This is normal and parents do not need to worry. However, it is recommended that parents not breed a Golden Retriever that is in heat for the first time, because at this time, the Golden Retriever's body functions are not mature enough and are not suitable for pregnancy.
Adult golden retriever female dogs will go into estrus once each year from March to May in spring and September to November in autumn. Symptoms of estrus include swelling and congestion of the vulva, red mucus secretions flowing out of the vagina, restlessness, and a tendency to be close to male dogs, etc. Estrus usually lasts for 6-14 days, and some golden retrievers can last as long as 20 days. As long as the body is healthy, it does not matter if the estrus period is slightly extended.
During estrus, you should choose a soft kennel for your golden retriever. You must pay attention to the cleaning of the kennel. After washing, it is best to expose it to the sun for sterilization and disinfection. Try to avoid bathing your dog during estrus, as the dog’s reproductive organs are susceptible to infection at this time. If parents have no intention of breeding puppies, it is best to put the golden retriever in menstrual pants, which can avoid pregnancy to a certain extent and is also cleaner and hygienic for the golden retriever itself.
