YorkieMom1, I'm so glad I read this thread! I made the appointment for Lexi's spay for July 5th. By then, she will be a few days past 9 months. My vet suggested that she be spayed at 6 months, but I've just dreaded taking her in.
After reading your response I will cancel her appointment and wait until after her 1st heat. From what I read, her age may have allowed time for her growth plates to mature, but she still needs to benefit from the first release of hormones.
(((Hugs))) to you for always sharing such helpful information.
