working cockers - average age of first season ?

[Niki]

Hi,
I'm trying to get a general sort of idea as to when to expect Swift to come into season for the first time.
I know every dog is individual.. I'm just thinking if people can tell me when their own dogs had their first, I could get an average just to give me an idea.
She's only 7 and a half months old at the mo, so I'm hoping I've got a few months yet

Sorry to say there really is no average age, so it's hard to say when your girl will do it. Mine were 9 months when they came in.

This thread will give you an example of the wide range:

That thread was exactly what I was after, thankyou spanielcrazy 
I knew there were no 'rules' but that's given me an idea of the range.

Are you able to ask Swift's breeder when her Mum first came in season, that is often a good indicator

They are all different but I think 9 monthds is average.
