NObody said they agreed with all those other things.
Pets are spayed, nuetered, Gelded, FOfr a perfectly legitament reason. TO control pet overpopulatioon. A mal dog smells a intact female, it will stop at nothing to get to her when shes in heat. Risks getting lost, hit by a car etc. Tail docking yorkies tails these days is done without reason. Just for looks. My girl wouldnt have anymore helath issues with a full length tail, but if she wasnt spayed she has a better chance at getting certian cancers, dying during birth, Etc etc.
