We have 3 dogs - 2 males and 1 female. Barbie, the 3-year old female was suggested by the vet to be spayed. However, when we learned the details of the procedure, my husband vehemently opposed the idea. Our main concern is how to prevent pregnancy of Barbie since we have no intention of breeding dogs. So what we do now is to keep Barbie in a cage when she is in heat. No worry about it because the male dogs would start to act strange before the actual period comes so we are on the lookout. Besides, we keep tabs of Barbie's period so we have a good estimate of when she would be in heat.
