Expert Answer

The best way to stop a female dog from breeding is spay surgery, a common operation removing the ovaries and uterus to prevent pregnancy.

It is best done at 6 months to 1 year, when she is mature but not yet pregnant. Benefits include preventing breast cancer, metritis, and ovarian cysts, reducing heat-related mating and wandering, and avoiding more strays.
