Default What age is best to spay young female?

Our little Lilly who is 13 weeks (tried to download picture, but file too large it said)and at 12 weeks weighed 1.8 lbs so will approximately weigh 3.5 lbs or so when grown according to charts. We decided since she will not be large enough to breed we want to spay her. I have read that if you spay before first heat period it is best as to prevent some certain types of female targeted cancer.
I am interested to hear from forum on this subject. Thank you, this forum is awesome for gleaning information about Yorkies. She is our first Yorkie, have 4 other larger breeds and they all love her as much as we do. She is a "pistol" for sure!!! Already running the show! My in-laws have raised nothing but Yorkies the past 10 years and have had them for almost 20 years, so they have been super help in giving us tips and we have been around their yorkies all along. They currently have four and they are quite the "pack" for sure!
