Yes, you are doing the right thing
I have 4 dogs, 2 male, and 2 female. The males have been neutered, and the females spayed. I got both of the females after they were around a year old, so I don't know what happened in their past, but they are spayed now.
My male Shiba was supposed to be a show dog (not for me, for some other people). Unfortunately, the woman who had him became very ill, and had to sell him and his sister. The man we bought him from said that we would get thousands for his stud fee. He was neutered a month after we got him.
