Gestation in dogs can be of 57-68 days with an average of 63 days or 9 weeks.
She can go in heat anytime between 6 months to 11 months for the 1st time. You need to wait till at least the second cycle (over a year old) before breeding her.
The average female dog has her first cycle about 8 months of age. A few dogs start earlier and few dogs later, even as late as 14 months. Mine was at 10 months.
If you have a new female puppy, you should watch her and note when she has her first heat cycle. If she’s 14 months old and still hasn't been in heat yet, you should take her to a vet.
