Is 3 Months Too Early For A Puppy To Go Into Heat?

by Daniel
(Spanish Fork, Utah)

We just purchased a Miniature Australian Shepherd. She is about 3 months old and on the second day having her we noticed that she started to bleed?

Is 3 months too early for a puppy to go into heat? What else could this mean?

We have an appointment to see the Vet but I was just wondering if anyone here has any advice.

Thanks

My girl is turning 1 on Wednesday and is currently in heat now. I have been doing LOTS of research on this as we are planning on having one litter (save the negative comments I have done my research). Generally the heat cycle is 6-14 months however smaller dogs may start early. 3 months seems a little too early though. The best way to tell is see if the vulva is swollen. Since you just got her it's best to see a vet anyway. It could be a UTI or kidney infection so definitely see a vet.

Good luck I hope the little girl is okay! :)

I have a mini Poodle born August 14th 2020 and she is in heat now. I wasn't expecting her to go into heat until February because that's when the Vet said she would go in heat at 6 month's. The reason I know she is in heat is because of her behavior. I caught my male Poodle mounting her. She is not quite 4 month's yet. I didn't think it would happen this early. But after doing research I found smaller dogs can go into heat as early as 4 months.
