If it were me and I was concerned about pyometra, I would opt for an uterine spay where they only remove the uterus.
again, it's the owners call.

To me, 1 out of 4 bitches getting pyometra is a HUGE number and not one I'm willing to take a chance on unless I was going to breed. Way rather schedule a spay surgery with a vet I know and trust, than take a chance on having to have and emergency surgery with the vet on duty and my now SICK dog if this flares up (and it's always weekends/nights/holidays when my dogs get afflicted).
