    No, there is no advantage to letting your pet have one litter. However there are plenty of advantages to having you pet spayed or neutered. These advantages include: decreasing the chances of breast tumors later in life, decreasing the chance of cystic ovaries and uterine infections later in life, decreasing the desire to roam, decreasing the incidence of prostate infections, helping prevent spraying and marking, and also decreasing the surplus of unwanted puppies and kittens.
