We are waiting until after Eva's first heat. She is 11 months and in heat right now so it will be done in May. I did research on the subject and we decide to wait to allow full bone growth completion. Some argue risk of mamory tumors if not done early. Breeders however wait 2 heat cycles and yet seem not to be concerned with mamory cancer, perhaps the risk is lowered after giving birth? I don't see how, two heat cycles without concieving is two cycles regardless. There are mixed opinions on when to spay.
