Golden Retrievers usually go into heat at 6-8 months; during heat they become restless, irritable, bark frequently and eliminate anywhere. If a female is in heat, there is also bleeding from the vulva. At the first heat the body is not yet mature, so avoid mating then to protect normal growth. It is recommended to breed only after adulthood, which benefits the dog and its offspring.
