My dad's actually a vet and he said that for a while, they were spaying/neutering very early on (over the past 10 years) and now those dogs have been studied and the effects of early spaying/neutering is evident. Now, we are waiting for Madison to go into heat once before she is going to get done. There is a new study out showing that if you let them go through heat at least once, they are healthier in the long term (less hip problems later in life, less bladder control issues, etc.).
So we're waiting for the magical day when she decides to go into heat! haha
