An unspayed female faces repeated hormone effects, greatly raising pyometra, ovarian cysts, false pregnancy, mammary tumors, and hyperplasia. In heat she gets irritable and aggressive, possibly biting others outdoors.
She may also wander off if the leash slips. If you will not breed her, spaying is better.
