Opinions will vary on this one, but our vet told us because our puppy was a larger breed (redbone coonhound) that we should wait a bit longer than 6 months, to 8 or 10 months to allow her to grow as much as possible. He did say to spay her before her first heat if possible, however. I know that the SPCA here in Edmonton spays puppies as young a 3 months. If it were me I would be inclined to spay Rosita sooner rather than later, because there are so many un-neutered dogs in Playa - just to avoid an accidental mating. I'm sure you will make the best choice for Rosita!
