I think she is going in heat becasue i was watching her play with my neighbors yorkie mix male dog and he was trying to hump her. I head a male dog will try to hump a female dog if she is in heat.

Dogs can go into heat as early as four months old, so she very well could be. I would have her spayed. My vet won't spay until 6 months but many do over 4 months and my shelter does any puppy/dog over 7 weeks old and kittens over two pounds.

Roxy that isn't an absolute sign your dog is going into heat. One dog with mount another for different reasons. There isn't an exact time that a female will go into heat either. Could be six months or much later.

Roxy do you plan on breeding her when she is older?

That could be just to show dominance. Two females will do that just to show who is boss.
5 months is still a little early but just the right age to get her fixed if your planning on doing that.
