I am I big fan of spaying. I think it does prevent and lessen there risk of some cancers and there is an infection they can get when they are not spayed that can kill them if you don't recognize it fast enough. Normally a blood test is all that is need but if you have the money and your vet or whoever will do it then I'm sure they will do more tests. There is a very small percent of dogs who die while under anesthesia. I would make sure there is someone whose job is to monitor the heart while shes under and that the operating table is heated. Dogs tend to act different when there owners are not around so she many not be so wiggly when your not there but vets are used to dogs wiggling. The risk of her getting stolen or getting lost and you never seeing her goes up if shes not spayed because then people can sell her for more money or use her in a puppy mill. Also if she is outside when in heat a male dog can smell her from a long way away and will do anything to get to her.
