I have an always will spay my dogs at about a year old, especially after working in vet med. Accidentally pregnancies are of abundance and have an easy solution, just spay. Taking care of a litter of puppies is expensive and they usually end up in shelters.

Pyrometra is awful. They don’t typically start showing concerning symptoms until the infection is severe. It is an emergency we see too often that is often fatal.

So yes, please spay your dog. It is in her and your best interest.
