Well, she's a giant breed. Here's what I found (AI):

Many times a female dog will not have a proper heat cycle until they are about two years of age. This is especially true in many large or giant breeds; they do not reach sexual maturity until they are two years old.

So she might be coming of age any time now, probably about the time she reaches her adult weight. Keep an eye on her, she could surprise you any time!

I'm hoping so, we have all the supplies just waiting on her lol

I hope you have a dog-proof kennel to keep her in. It's unbelievable the lengths male suitors will go to, to get to a bitch in heat.

I do, plus she'll likely stay in my room and just come out for extremely supervised potty breaks. Our other dog is neutered but I know he'll still be crazy for her.

He'll probably be okay. It's the neighborhood Friendly Henrys you have to worry about. They will dig under fences. They will jump over. They will climb fences. They will try to breed through fencing! They may build flying machines and parachute in! Do you ever plan to breed her?

Yes I hope to at least once, of course she'd get all the proper health testing first so that's only if she passes that.

Here’s the service dog laws. I think a big difference is therapy dogs and ESAs are NOT considered service dogs here in the USA. Seems like in Australia they are?

And they do NOT have to be vested or have ID or anything even though some places might try to ask LOL

By "they" I assume you mean service dogs? They do not HAVE to be but generally they are, correct? So they don't get challenged with, "hey we don't allow pet dogs in here."

Yes, service dogs. And not all. There are quite a lot of teams that work “naked” so to speak LOL the dogs not the humans.

Some do vest just cause it’s easier LOL
