Not common, but not abnormal. I am not sure you would call it a split heat that far apart. Not sure. Young bitches sometimes take a few months to get regular, and if another bitch brings them in, well it can happen.

I know my first bitch had some spotting at four months, then her first heat at eight months, and her second at 12 months. After that she went to a six-month cycle.
