    alot of things come into play genetics,health and diet,stress. some dogs will come into thier first heat at 6-7months whilst others can be a year or more, typically the larger the dog and the longer it takes to mature the greater the wait for the first cycle.
    I would say typical walkers not from a particularly large slow to mature bloodline be about 7 to 9 mo as long as it is healthy and is not undernourished. if it comes a bit later i wouldnt worry about it as long as she is healthy .

    If your male is a mature male and your female comes into heat make sure you keep a tight reign on her as i swear a male that wants a female in heat is a handfull lol!
