Newer research (as already stated) has shown that bone growth is affected by early spay/neuter.
I waited (too long in my case) until 3 heats has been completed, I have always been told about the importance of development in females and personality changes after experiencing a heat and then being spayed.
This is not medically supported only by a few breeders based on their own personal experiences.
It's risky, I'd go with what has been proven research as long as you can guarantee her not getting pregnant or are prepared as I did to have her get a spay abortion.
Would I wait again-yes, would I use extreme caution and have a spay abortion again-yes, it is our repsonsibility to protect the and even if we fail with A & B you have to be prepared for C IMHO.
