You can expect your Cane Corso's first heat anytime within the next six months to be honest, my friend's Cane Corso had her first heat at 10 months.
- The mess of a heat can be a pain, especially with a bigger dog. Plus she may 'not be herself'. My female dog tries to mount my female cat when she is in heat!
- Spaying reduces the chance of cancer and other nasties that she might get when she is older.
I hope she is okay with her first heat, I am sure she is gorgeous :-)
