Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Bhuri is adorable! I recommend having her spayed as early as 6 months or not later than 2 months after her first heat cycle. If it will be hard to keep her away from intact male dogs it would be best to have her spayed before her first heat cycle to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Good luck!
