There's a movement to wait for a dog to have her first heat before spaying. I was like, dude, she was from a litter of NINE and there is an unaltered pit bull next door. She got fixed as soon as she hit 6 months.

Aside from territoriality, another very good - in fact, urgent - reason - to have your rabbit doe spayed is that unspayed does have a terrifying high chance of developing serious reproductive-system disease, including cancer, before they reach 3 years of age.
One might find it hard to credit at first, but aside from the aforementioned issue, there's a good deal of evidence that unfixed rabbits don't actually enjoy sex that much. They're driven by their hormones to such an extent that does that have just given birth...
...have been known to mate & get pregnant again within hours. I like to say that neutering/spaying, by removing the source of those hormones, lets "the inner bunny" come out in full blossom so that they can exhibit their real personalities.
