Thank you for posting this. I knew that I disagreed with hha's statement as my Reno had a wonderful vet that did neuter him at 14 weeks. His breeder took care of this before I ever got him, as she does with all of her pet placements. I appreciated it too, as it was less worry for me later.
If I were to ever consider breeding, this would be my policy too. No way would I put my heart, soul, time and hard work into raising my own line, to have some unscrupulous byb come along take my dogs and raise pups to sell.
And, it is a cost I would add on to the price of the pup.
