Did you know that by spaying her before her first heat, you can eliminate her risk of ever getting mammary cancer? Spaying her after her first heat raises the risk to 7% and and to 25% if you wait until after her third heat.

A spayed female also can't get Pyometra which is a life threatening uterine infection which generally occurs a few weeks after her heat cycle. An emergency spay is always needed to save her life.

Those facts combined with the risk of breeding any toy dog is a pretty compelling argument to spay your girl and just enjoy her as a pet IMO.
