I couldn't agree more!! I'm all for spaying and neutering. If you are worried about it I would find a specialist to do the surgery, one who is very experienced with the small ones. Sure it will cost you more but at least it gives you peace of mind.
Many years ago we nearly lost our golden due to not spaying her and she developed pyometra. They brought out her uterus to show us how it was twice as big as normal because of it. That kind of thing sticks with you. It was all our fault for not having her spayed. I'll never let any other dog of mine go through that.
