Watch her every moment until her heat is over !!! Then in 3 months take her in to be spayed. How long has she been in heat ?

bought 2 weeks, i am only going to spay here if im certain it wount change her fur as i was told by a lady at some kennels that when the weshies are spayed there white fur murges into the liver coloured fur and they look really old.

It's not true. If the white is going to merge, it will whether they're spayed or not. Get her spayed, it's healthier for her all around. And WATCH her while she's outside, otherwise she's going to end up knocked up!

You're heading into the " Right " time !!!! Watch her !!! I'd rather have an old looking dog ( if that is the case ) than a bunch of unwanted pups and putting up with heats twice a year !

im still not sure, i love showing her and i know that i can't show her anymore. i know that you can get injections that breeders use that stop the bitch going into season, what do you think about this?

Wow I never heard of that... Wouldn't know what to tell you about the injections, but if you show her then you shouldn't spay her until you stop showing. And like the others said, keep a good eye on her!

Any medication used to delay/suppress her normal cycle (oestrus) greatly increases her chances of developing a post oestral pyometra -i.e. a uterine infection. That can be life threatening and normally that would result in her having to be spayed anyway.
It is highly unlikely that spaying would affect the coat colour in a specific breed only.
