of maturity mainly varies depending on the breed and size of the dog, but it\u2019s not accurately predictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since German Shepherds are larger, they will likely have their first heat cycle later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll have to observe your dog for signs of the heat cycle starting at four months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cycle can begin at two years of age, but it begins between the ages of 6 to 12 months for most dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Does the Heat Cycle Last?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The length of the heat cycle varies from dog to dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some females go through cycles that exceed 28 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Often Do German Shepherds Go In Heat?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t accurately predict the heat cycle\u2019s frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since every female dog has her own pattern, you\u2019re required to anticipate the cycle to help the dog manage the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the first heat cycle, it can take up to two years to find your dog\u2019s unique pattern of heat cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that point, it\u2019s still partially predictable and can get disrupted by pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the hormonal fluctuations usually level after four or five years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-ac075294 gb-headline-text\">German Shepherds are large dogs, so they can possibly go into heat only once per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may observe a single heat cycle every 18 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others may have a heat cycle every four months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"care-for-german-shepherds-during-the-heat-cycle\">Care For German Shepherds During The Heat

you\u2019ll have to decide if you want to breed your female German Shepherd or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, if it\u2019s not part of your plan, you\u2019ll have to ensure your dog stays away from all male dogs during her heat cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the bleeding issue, most females can clean themselves by licking the blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To stay on the safe side, make your dog wear a diaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will also prevent the male dogs from breeding with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Help your dog overcome the nervousness and anxiety of this period by playing with her and giving her attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her energy levels will be lower than usual, so let her exercise to her preference level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
