Spaying before there first heat can definitely reduce mammary cancer and obvious other cancers. I am a big fan of spaying and most smaller dogs have baby teeth that don't fall all fall out so its also a good time to get those pulled. Anesthesia is really a lot safer then it used to be and when the proper protocol is done and pre op blood work is done then its even safer. With a non spayed female you have to make sure they are absolutely not around any intact males and males will hurt them selves to get to a female in heat so certain things will not keep them away, you also have to not let them outside alone when they are in heat even for a second, if you have to go out of town you have to make sure shes not going to go into heat while you are gone and if she does will the person watching her keep her safe and 100% away from intact males. Yorkies are also highly stolen dogs so one that's not fixed is worth more money and could even get stolen and sold to someone who uses them just t breed. I'm a fan of spaying.
