Default Do female dogs needs to get pregnant at least once in their lives for health reason?

I have a female toy poodle as a pet. Now she's 2 years old.

Some people said that I must breed the dog at least once or twice in her life so she'll be healthier.

But the problem is my dog isn't a good breed. Her skin is sensitive and even have mites before. The vet said this is the problem of her gens. I'm just afraid by breeding this dog will leave a big problem to the puppies' owner. I don't want them spend a lot of money taking the puppies to vets like I did.

So another thing came into my mind, spaying. But some of the dog owners said spaying a dog will increase the risk of my dog having cancer and obesity.

So what should I do?
She is 2 years old and heated for twice already... Is it too late to be spayed?

Those are good qestions to ask your vet, but from my owning dogs best to have them fixed and they actually will be longer lived and less chance of having medical problems in those reproductive areas later in life. NO! they will not get over weight unless they are inactive and you start over feeding. I am very certain with my respouce but a Vet can give you a better reply in Medical terms. I do know that it would have been better to have had it done before she had her first cycle. But still better then having it done after she has had her first litter!
