Most bitches come into season for the first time between 6 and 12 months,
although some larger breeds delay until as late as 2 years. Like most mammals,
the age that a bitch first comes into season is mostly a function of her current
body weight as a proportion of her body weight when fully mature. The different
rates of maturation are responsible for the menarche, not the chronological age.
