Yes, spaying females can decrease the incidence of certain health issues, but still, that doesn't mean you must spay. MANY female dogs live their lives unspayed and live long, healthy, normal lives...just like us unspayed human females do .
I agree with this, and want to add the importance of keeping her away from any male when she goes into heat (a 3 week time period). Accidents can happen very quickly (trust me lol, within seconds!!) .

Welcome to the boards.
