Question for DMV Doug on spayed

I have a 3 month old female Collie pup (Sasha). I have heard that waiting a little longer then 6 months is better for development and others said to do it at 6 months to help prevent health issues.

What is your opinion on this?

    Doug is the expert, but having just visited this issue at the University of Georgia Vet School with a puppy that was diagnosed with an etopic urethra, waiting until after they have gone through one heat lessens the possibility of urine leakage but increases the risk of mammary gland cancer.
