This is a judgement call that you will have to make for yourself. On one hand, a 13-year old dog can become pregnant, which presents a challenge for what to do with the puppies. On the other hand, at 13 years old there is no preventive health reason to spay the dog - her risk of mammary and uterine cancer are already fixed and not likely to change at this point.
However, if your dog has been diagnosed with Diabetes or Cushing's disease, she should absolutely be spayed immediately. The hormone fluctuations associated with a cycling female make controlling both of these diseases almost impossible without spaying her first.

When to spay an Australian shepherd?
Most veterinarians agree that the best age to spay a Dog is before her first season (at about six months of age). However, some veterinarians disagree and say that the Dog should have one season, and then be spayed (at about one year old). You should consult a veterinarian on the best time to spay your Dog. (NOTE: Dogs cannot be spayed during their heat cycle/season, so wait until it has finished before having her spayed). My Old English Sheepdog was spayed at just under a year old and recovered completely within a few days.

Does it hurt the dog to have them spayed or neutered?
Having a dog spayed or neutered will cause some discomfort for a few days but keeping the dog still (lying down) will help prevent pain and the Vet can give you pain medication for your pet if he or she seems to be very uncomfortable. The discomfort is short lived and after a few days your dog will be back to his or her old self, without the risk of bringing more puppies into this over populated planet.
