I think it is just the right time. I had Jewels done right when she turned 6 mos and she did fine

From what I understand, you want to have them spayed before their first heat and most females go into heat around 8-9 months? I'm not sure so don't take my word but 6 months sounds about right.

Yes, that's a great time. The traditional age has always been 6 months and many vets still wait until then. Many are spaying/neutering earlier now as well. You definitely want to have it done by 6 months as she can go into heat anytime after that.
