My vet also suggested I wait on Paisley until 8-9 months. I waited until just over 8 months and called to set up her appointment. UNFORTUNATELY she went into heat before her appt. at 8 1/2 months. Called the vet and they pushed it back to Sept. 28th, unfortunately my dad went into the hospital last week, so I had to reschedule as I knew he was getting pacemaker surgery, and I would need to be available whatever day they set it for this week, and her appt. was supposed to be Monday. Dad had his pacemaker today, and everything went well, and Paisley is now scheduled for Oct. 13th for her surgery.
Let me tell you, I have had two other female dogs in my life, My Sadie who we had pts in Jan and Bailey (my basset who is currently 4 yo). Both were adopted through the Humane Society so were fixed when they came to us. I have two male dogs right now Jefe 10 yo and Preston 2 yo. I had both of them fixed when they were 8 months. I have never had a female that was in heat, and NEVER want to experience it again. It made me a NERVOUS wreck that she would somehow get pregnant. It was messy, she pouted all the time, and was grumpy about her food.
I do not know how breeders do it!. LOL
