For those breeders who spay before they leave your home, that is great. As an owner, I probably would choose to wait til 6 mos or so. If for a pet only and from what all has been discussed (not just in this thread) to me it seems that the benefits are far more better to spay prior to 15 mos. Understanding that if you wait longer that there may be developmental things but as an owner, not a breeder, and seeing and hearing about all the healthy dogs who have been spayed at the 6 mo or so age is it really harmful to do it at 6 mos (or so)?
Hearing about the chances for different cancers if a dog is not spayed seem be more of a possibility than the ones who are not spayed. Is this a responsible course of thinking for the dog's health? |
