will bring you to the posting that has the research link.

New published data Feb 1 2014 on a cohort study of 2505 Viszlas does not show a strong co-relation between mammary tumours and either the age of spaying or intact/spayed females. Furthermore a systematic review of the literature Footnote (36) indicates only a weak co-relation in previous studies.

Authors Conclusion for this whole study is that more research is needed!

For the OP I how-ever agree with all the advice given. For many reasons as a novice pet owner, it would be best to spay your girl.

The mammarys in a female who is spayed before there first heat are not the same as mammarys in a female who as gone through a heat that is for sure you can feel and see the difference which mean they are not developed or fully developed which would obviously decreased the chance of cancer..
