I am currently a foster mother to an adorable 8 month old female yorkie. She is the sweetest dog I've ever known and I wish I could keep her. I am currently taking care of her for someone for a few months. She is currently in heat and when the owner took her to the vet yesterday, the vet recommended spaying her. The owner does not want to spay her because she wants to breed her in the future. The problem is that this person is not very responsible (kinda the reason I am taking care of her for now) and I am afraid she will breed her without doing any research. I think this dog has roach back. Is there any way of getting a professional to evaluate her and tell the owner she is not suitable for breeding?
I want what is best for the dog and I know if she doesn't get spayed she may have a miserable life with an irresponsible, uninformed breeder.
