Expert Answer

An adult female Golden heats twice a year, once each in spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November); an adult male can heat all year once he smells a female in heat.

During heat the dog howls often and may soil indoors. If you do not plan to breed, neuter early, which lowers reproductive-disease risk and benefits health.
