Wicket is only 4lbs 2oz my Vet will not consider neutering Wicket until he reaches 5lbs, my vet also says that it's not necessary to neutered males, most people do because of the marking and male habits. Wicket has never marked or had bad habits, also my vet has raise yorkies for 15 years.
I think you should do what feels right for you, listen to that little voice we all have inside us, I have found it's more right then wrong. |
My little voice would say save money don't do it, I'm glad my bigger voice researched it better.

I was just wondering what your thoughts are on this. Diesel will be going on 3 soon and is not fixed! To be honest I don't think I ever will get him fixed. I thought this was intresting coming from a Vet who work at a Canine Fertility Clinic. It really makes me stop and think. |
I did find it interesting that the vet quoted in the article was a "breeder vet" and the link came from "The Show Dog Super Site - The Best of Breed of Online Show Dog Magazines", the fertility clinic that you are referring to does this sort of thing
