i've never seen a breeding bitch have a pyometra but i have seen plenty of unspayed pets come in bleeding all over the place. its not pretty. Most of the time the owners didn't want to get the dog spayed for whatever reason they had or they just didn't know better. So i say you can do this the hard way or the easy way. The easy way would be to get the pup spayed at 6 months and never have to worry about it. the hard way would be to not spay the pup. then after a few heat cycles the dog will most likely develope a pyometra and end up bleeding all over herself, you, your floors, furniture and car. then you'll HAVE to get her spayed and pay even more for it. plus there is a chance the infection is so bad that the dog will die. i say just spend the $300 or what have you when the pup is 6 months instead of probably $1000 later on to get her spayed and replace/clean what she bled all over.
