I agree! May I add: Hopefully before the 1st heat, but some girls will go into heat very young. Ideally you want to spay her around 8-9 months. It depends on her maturity. We don't want to do early spays any longer. When were doing them when we thought they were better. Although some breeders do very well with it, my findings aren't in favor of it any longer.
