If spay/neuter isn't common there - then I would guess that accidental pregnancies and stray animals are quite common.

If they were my animals, I would have them fixed sooner rather than later. While studies suggest that some orthopedic issues can be prevented by having the procedure done later in bigger breeds, the health risks for not having it done are higher IMO than the risks of having the procedure. And if your vet is going to charge considerably more after the animals are six months, then there is always the risk that you won't be able to afford the new price or that other complications will keep the animals from being fixed.
