The risk is lowest when the puppy is spayed before she is six months old, but this can be done before she is two years old. It is also effective to spay a dog before she is eight years old.
Edit: Above was spot-on traditional. Especially for working dogs, it has been replaced by spay (or neuter) them later rather than early. For females, after the first heat or litter; males at about a year and a half (before 9 months and your going to get an underdeveloped dog). Early erodes development hormones requisite for achieving their potential.
When the puppy is 6 months old is a good time.
For females its usually best to wait till after their first heat. for males they need to be at leased three months before going under anesthetic.
Most vets do it by 6 months

In most cases, a veterinarian is trained to wait until the puppy is four months (16 weeks) old to schedule a spay/neuter surgery. However, new research and techniques show you can spay a puppy as young as 8 weeks with very low complication rates provided the puppy is at least 5 pounds in weight at the time of surgery.
Six months is the typical age that vets neuter (spay is typically the term used) puppies, however there is early age spay/neutering that can be done from seven to sixteen weeks of age. This is still somewhat controversial in the animal communitiy, so ask your vet what age they are willing to spay your dog.
Spaying female dogs at age 6 months or older is ideal. To avoid pyometra be sure to spay before age 9 months.
Call the vet.
A dog is a puppy until it reaches one year of age.
