Do you have pictures of your Yorkie ?
What are the lines on the pedigrees ?
Gazou have Rothby , Caraneal , Jentre etc etc |
Do you own any males or do you use only outside studs?
Are you saying it is irresponsible not to have a pet neutered, because there are some vets who feel it is irresponsible to neuter unless there is a valid reason that is in the best interests of the dog? Surgery is risky and the so-called health benefits of neutering are in no way proven to outweigh the risk of the surgery and the pain the animal must endure.
Obviously, irresponsible owners who cannot contain and control the dog should have them altered, but as long as unwanted pregnancies can be prevented and the dog is not overly aggressive, and absent some other compelling reason, it is perfectly okay to leave a dog unaltered imo.
Juat another viewpoint to consider.
