Answer by  bentobowl (33)

The age of which dogs have their first heat will vary not only by the breed, but also from dog to dog. A female dachshund will usually come into its first heat at some time between 6 to 12 months of age, but they should not be bred until they are at least 2 years old.

Dachshunds will usually have their first heat anytime in between 6 to 12 months, however it seems to be more common in the 7 to 9 month range, but it is not unheard of to happen as early as 4 or 5 months old. The complete heat cycle will take about 6 months to complete.

Most dogs, regardless of breed, come into their first heat at roughly six months of age. The heat cycle will last approximately three weeks. The dog will have heat cycles usually every six months. It is not unusual for some dogs to have a cycle only once a year. It varys.
