| I have read to wait until at least 6 months. I got Misha done at 4 months from the advice of my Vet. Had to have her go in later to have her canines out. If I would have waited they could have done it all at one time.

| I think it depends a lot on the size of your little girl. During surgery, bigger is better, and thats why a lot of people wait until six or seven months. Ask your vet, he knows your girl's medical history, etc, and will give you the perfect time to spay your baby...as long as he's a responsible vet experienced with yorkies and little dogs.

| You should do it before the first heat however the longer you wait the better because the vet can extract all of the baby teeth that haven't fallen out on their own and have adult teeth coming in. We had Winnie spayed at 6 months...seems to be what everyone else is saying too. |

| Trixie got spayed at 6 months as well. All her adult teeth had come in by that point and they pulled 2 baby teeth at the time of the surgery.
