Yes, yes, yes, get her spayed! I had a female that I got when she was a little older. She wasn't spayed and I kept her in tact. As she got older, she developed breast tumors that the vet said she probably would not have gotten if she was spayed. Also, in tact females tend to get infections of the uterus, which would mean you would have to get her spayed anyway - and if she is old by then, you might lose her in the process. Also, when they are in heat, they have a tendency to jump fences, etc...she might get pregnant and you would just be adding to the homeless dog population (even if you found homes for your puppies, that is that many existing dogs who don't get homes).
