The main negative consequences of neutering are to do iwth the system not being mature. As your girl has defintely passed into womanhood so to speak spaying is unlikley to change her character at all. There is a small risk of urinary incontinence as she gets older (or sometimnes even earlier) but this is usually worse if the bitch is allowed to get overweight.
She will require a little less food, and usually it is best to cut it by about 20% to start with and monitor her weight to see if she is fainingi or loosing, and adjust accordingly.
Some bitches in short coated breeds can tend to develop areas of sparse coat due to the lack or hormones.
