You have a 7 month old golden retriever Is it advisable to spay her before her first heat?

No, you should wait until at least 3 weeks AFTER her first heat (though two heats are preferred before considering spaying). Bitches spayed too early may be far more interesting to intact males; unwanted male attention may cause the female to become aggressive and protective of this attention in adulthood. Also dogs who are spayed or neutered too early tend to have puppy like behavior as adults. Because early neutering removes sex hormones, this delays maturation of "osteoclasts" resulting in delayed closing of the growth plates of the long leg bones, thereby increasing the risk of numerous orthopaedic disorders such as cruciate ligament disease and possibly bone cancer.

It can also significantly increase the risk of urinary incontinence. Early neutering also increases risk of urethral sphincter incontinence in males.Therefore I recommend spaying females 3 weeks after their second heat, and neutering males between the age of 16-18 months.

What is the cause of frequent swelling around the nose and mouth of a golden retriever?

This could be due to allergies, either environmental or foods. Your vet can do allergy testing to determine if it is allergies, and what she is allergic to. The allergy tests are not very expensive, so I strongly suggest you have this done.

Watch the dog when he goes to sniff around, soon as he goes to lift his leg have a empty pop can with 10 pennies in it, and shake the can making enough noise to get his attention, and say No! then call the dog and go outside with him. Do this everytime until he gets the hang of it, do not do not use this method close to his ears, it will affect his hearing

Is it normal a female golden retriever 16 months not having its period yet?

When a dog has their "period", it is called a heat cycle.

Bigger breed dogs, such as a Golden Retriever, usually do not have their first heat cycle under 12 months of age.

Though 16 months old is not common, some Goldens can wait until 18 months before having their first one.
