After reading this article and others, I'm of the opinion that the benefits of early spaying outweigh the very small risks involved. Even the article linked to suggests the same may be true.
With early neutering there may be a slight increase (for some breeds, mostly larger breeds) of possible problems, this would keep me from early neutering in some cases.
If I were breeding though, any pet sold would be spayed/neutered before going to pet homes. After witnessing what irresponsible breeding brings, there is no way I would contribute to the pet overpopulation problem by allowing pet buyers to breed.......whether by "mistake" or intentionally.
