She won't, if you get her spayed by 6 months!
When an ovariohysterectomy (OHE) is performed prior to the first heat period in a female dog, the risk of mammary cancer later in life is less than 1%. When OHE is performed between the first and second heat periods the risk is about 8% of mammary cancer later in life. Anytime after the second heat period the risk of mammary cancer in female dogs is about 25%, whether an OHE is performed later, or not. This is perhaps the strongest
argument for spaying female dogs.
The other major medical risk to female dogs that can be avoided by OHE is pyometra. This is infection of the uterus and it occurs in roughly 8% of female dogs sometime during their life time. In dogs uterine infections are a greater risk than in other species, due to the unusual way in which dogs have estrus cycles. The long interval between cycles with a closed cervix leads to severe infections developing with minimal clinical signs and so the condition often is life threatening at the time it is discovered.

Usually around 1 year old, sometimes "just" before that. It isn't healthy for your dog to have puppies before 2 years of age, and if you're "planning" on breeding her, I'd wait till she's 3 years old. Just to let you know" A dog that has had puppies, has a bigger chance of developing breast cancer than a dog who never does. I know this for a fact. If you only plan on allowing 1 litter, you may want to consider having her spayed right after she's finished nursing. It's up to you. Either way, good luck.

most female dogs go in to heat for the first time around 6 months old, and every six months after that

it truly is unlawful to sell a puppy that isn't weaned everywhere contained in the US. i do no longer comprehend approximately international, whether it may be besides. no one needs to tear a nursing puppy from a teat for any reason, that's why countless states require that a puppy be a minimum of 8 weeks previous, and it may be all of them. in easy terms the scummiest breeder in the international could sell a puppy that youthful, so maximum of them will value you besides the fact that they think of they might get out of you

Please spay your dog! With every heat cycle she is forced to go through, her chances of cancer and other health problems are increased greatly. For her health and safety, please have her spayed!
