Question
we have a 2 year old cocker and we was wondering what is the heat cycle range is

        Thank you richard leVine

Answer
Why isn't your dog spayed?  I really hope you're not considering breeding - a job best left to expert and responsible breeders who understand the health issues and lineage decisions necessary to produce healthy puppies.

I suggest you discuss this with your vet.  He/she will explain how hard on the dog it is to go through endless heat cycles and that spaying eliminates the possibilities of certain cancers later in her life.

Expertise

Health, nutrition, training. Please note: I used to highly recommend Innova products but, unfortunately, as with Canidae, they have sold out to Proctor & Gamble. This guarantees lower quality to a dangerous point so I will no longer be advising anyone to buy it.

20 years of owning this breed.
