No, I'm not joking. I'm serious. Females first come into heat sometime between the ages of 6 and 24 months, smaller dogs earlier than larger dogs, because smaller dogs mature faster. What can sometimes happen is rising hormone levels (long before that 1st heat) can trigger a heavy vaginal discharge in some puppies. If you notice her constantly licking in that area, she may have vaginitis. kstar is right, but if your puppy has vaginitis, then I would wait until she has gone through one heat.
