My 2 year old female Indian spitz(still not sure about this) is still not showing any sign of having an estrus cylcle. What may be the reason and how could this be solved? Thankyou.

She may have one heat cycle per year and probably the first one she had was showing few signs or none (it is fairly common in young females). Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
