Can anyone recommend a good age at which to have the dog spayed? Why?

I am asking because I was planning to get my dog spayed at 5 months old, but I read an article on a breeders website about how there are health risks to early spay- the article recommended waiting until ~18 months, which I was under the impression is way too long to wait.

Any opinions?

I don't spay or nueter I honestly don't know... it's healthier not to

I can understand that it is healthier. What's the best way to deal with her flow? Is she an indoor dog? Do you have neutered males? Mine are neutered. I would like more information please.

A pair of tighty whiteys with a maxipad in them and turn them backwards with the tail pulled through the pee hole lol Yoda isn't fixed but I keep them separate... my other males are fixed so no worries... in the crate she keeps herself clean but when she's out she gets the batman undies! Lol
