Should you wait to spay your blue heeler until after the first heat?

No. You should aim to spay all female dogs prior to their first heat cycle. There are sound proven medical reasons for this. A female dog spayed prior to her first cycle has a life time risk of developing mammary cancer of 1 in 10,000. A female dog who has one heat cycle has a life time risk of 1 in 20. If she has more than one cycle her risk rises to 1 in 4, irrespective of if she is spayed at two years or 5 years of age or even later.
Early spaying is, therefore, one of the most positive things that an owner can do to protect the long term health of their dog. Delay until after the first cycle was once recommended, but in the last 25 years the evidence for early intervention has become overwhelming.
