Reproductive seasonality is a natural genetic trait in certain primitive dog breeds where the reproductive system restricts breeding cycles to a specific time of year, typically autumn. Rather than a disease, this is an evolutionary trait inherited from wild ancestors like wolves, regulating the hormonal cycle to ensure offspring are born during optimal seasons.
Owners will notice that female dogs experience their heat cycle only once a year, consistently during the same season, starting when they reach sexual maturity. This pattern is completely normal for these breeds and does not cause any health issues or physical discomfort.
Because this is a natural biological variation and not a medical condition, no treatment is required. There are no associated medical costs, resulting in an expected lifetime cost of 0 EUR.
