My 1-year-old female Lhasa Apso hasn't had her first heat. Is she okay?

Question

My Lhasa apso dog is female and is 1 year and 20 days old exactly but she has not gotten her first heat yet. I am worried it might cause health problems for her. Pet's info: Dog | Lhasa Apso | Female | unspayed | 1 year old | 11 lbs

She could still go into heat at any time. Some dogs go into heat later than others, although smaller breed dogs tend to go into heat by a year of age. It could also be that she has gone into heat, but it was a silent heat so you didn't notice any signs of it. I'd have her checked out by a vet to be safe. Best of luck.
