Default Help - Question - to spay? Or not to Spay

Hello all!!

I am in a place of indecision.

My baby is now 6 months old today They grow up so fast!

Anyway, I was told to have her fixed around 6 months - so made an appt. for Friday of this week a while back.

Now that the date is coming, I'm wondering if I should fix her.

I'm concerned. I can't turn it back if I do it. I didn't want to bring more puppies into this world (images of horrible puppy mills and also shelters with unwanted animals comes to mind and I get sad). But if my breeder would have had that stand, I wouldn't have my angel.....

She's beautiful - and she is small. Under 5 lbs full grown. So I'm concerned about her size - is it dangerous if she did have a litter?

I have taken care of litters of pups before, so that isn't the part that concerns me.

I was told I should let her have one litter, that it is better for them. Is that true do you think?

I do not want to breed her for the monetary gain that's for sure...........If I did do it it would be for me to experience the joy of the babies, and to see her be a mommy.......

I'm stuck - can anyone offer advice???
