My female Malinois (17 months old) appears to be finishing up her 2nd Heat Season. During her first season last summer, her vulva REALLY swelled up - probably about 3-4 inches across - so much that people would clearly notice and make comments like "it's a girl!"
This season, however, her vulva hardly swelled at all (comparatively). It probably swelled to 2 inches across or so and there was also minimal blood flow comparative to last season as well.
My question: is it normal for the first heat season to be more physically pronounced than follow-on heat seasons?
For those who might ask why I haven't spayed, my intent is to have her hips x-rayed at 24 months to determine her breeding potential. There are a lot of decision points following that, but that's where I'm at thus far.
