Thanks for all the info. Still not sure when, but will probably try to get it done within the next 2 months to avoid her going into heat. I had just heard, now we hear and can google everything these days and sometimes that creates conflicts, to let her mature more and have her first heat. Should not be an issue with male dogs as she is in the house most of the time and we would make sure keep a close watch if she did go into heat, but I'm sure my hubby would like to avoid the mess. I just want to make we have it done at the correct time, but seems like there is no tried and true correct time.
More comments appreciated
