No way..that is an old wives's tale.. it is far better to have it done before her first 'season'..as that is the best preventative for breast cancer later in life..If she has one 'heat' she is far more likely to get breast cancer in the futire.
It also prevents several behaviors that are related to her female hormones..

I had a bad experience with my first B*tch. I got her spayed before the first heat and she grew fat and stayed like that all her life. tried to get her on diet but nothing worked. I don't know if this applies to all breed but mine was a cross breed Gernman Shepherd. Cheers

Oh contra mon cherie. Don't let her have a heat cycle, like it's been said before, she will be more likely to get breast cancer, same goes for cats.
Get her spayed asap, make sure she's up to date on vaccinations and get her microchiped while you're at it. All well worth your money.

nope, my vet said that its best for males and females to get neutuered and spayed at 6 months, that is before the males start humping, and the females start their first heat cycle...

Please don't let her go into heat if you're not planning on breeding her. It's really quite awful for them. Spaying her as soon as possible is the right thing to do.
