Yes, the source of nearly all female hormones is the ovaries... when a dog is spayed, her entire uterus and both of her ovaries are removed. Their personality is generally completely unaffected. The health benefits are numerous: no ovarian or uterine cancer, no uterine infection (pyometra - usually life threatening), lower incidence of mammary tumors (breast cancer), no unwanted puppies, no mess each time they come in heat.

Yes. The ovaries are removed. Since the ovaries are the main producers of estrogen, her estrogen level will be nearly nonexistant after spaying.
