If this will be her first heat, get her spayed before it happens. It will reduce her likelyhood of getting mammary cancer and also she will never get cancer or the ovaries or uterus.

the owner said that this si her 2nd time getting babies..So she can get cancer!?!?!?OMG
Her previous owner doesn't sound like a very responsible person.. that's such a shame.
She CAN get cancer, yes. And so could the male. But by having them both fixed you greatly decrease the risk, if not eliminate it all together!![]()
Well, if she's gone into heat and had babies already than the risk is only going to be reduced by spaying. But if they take out the entire uterus than they can't possibly get that kind of cancer (uterine and ovarian). Dogs get all sorts of cancers. You should spay anyway though.
