No Heat Cycle

What happens if your female rottie does not have a heat cycle every 6 to 7 months?

One of the main causes is a fancy word named hypoestrinism which is an estrogen deficiency.
In other words your rottie does not have any ovulatory secretion or only partial and the heat cycle does not appear.

Usually the health of your dog is not affected by this condition however, if you would like her to have puppies you should talk to your vet and consider hormonal treatment.
Another possibility is that your rottie is in her heat cycle but does not show any visible signs of it (bleeding/swelling of the vulva).

Your only guess is to watch if there is an increased interest of the male dog population around your yard.........

Some vets argue that if you have a female rottie (valid for other breeds as well) and you don´t want her to have puppies after 4 years or so, then you should seriously consider to spay her because according to them it is not normal to have soo many heat cycles and not getting pregnant.

Complications might include hormonal imbalances and pyometra which is a potentially deadly infection of the uterus.

Have a great day with your best friend!!!
All the best,
