I'm not scared to get her sray because she is to young. I'm worried about her weight. She only weighs 2 pounds. I have her separated from her brothers. I'm not a moron or an idiot. I would appreciate it if GitEmGang would stop calling me an idiot. We are not as intelligent as he is

That question is going to best be answered by your vet. You are definitely doing the right thing by spaying her (the term is spay, not spade - to spade something is to hit it with a shovel).
At 2 pounds, she is definitely small, but consider the consequences if she doesn't get spayed... likely an inbred litter sired by her brother or brothers, and either death during trying to deliver pups, or a very expensive C-section that could end with her dying or the pups dying or both.
While you are at it, make sure her brothers get neutered.

Three possibilities come to mind: 1.) The puppy is not actually purebred and a VERY small sire is actually the parent of your puppy. Dogs can have pups from multiple sires in one litter. 2.) The dog is a runt and is not healthy. 3.) The dog is not receiving proper care and/or nourishment and as such, has stunted growth. A pit pup should weigh far more than 8 pounds at 5 months...

8 months is not too young. If she's in heat, you should get her spayed soon for sure, because she is sexually mature already and you could end up with puppies if you're not careful! Make sure to keep her separated from her brothers--dogs don't have incest taboos!

Nope shes not too small. They can be spayed much earlier than 6 months too! A litter at her age is much more dangerous than getting spayed.

Dogs are usually spayed before they are one year old. Size doesn't matter.
I would trust the advice of your vet.
