Got my first Golden spayed at about that age. No issues. Lived 17years. Was a very smart dog.

Waited to get 2nd Golden spayed. Wasn't very smart but kept herself really clean. Could not hardly tell when she went into season, and even trimmed her own nails. dHad to spay her at 12years because kept getting infections. Started growing lots of lumps after. Died at 13 due to inoperable growth in spine.

Still trying to decide on 3rd Golden having puppies. She will be 2 this holiday season.
