It's good to know they shouldn't be spayed too early....what do you think is the earliest healthy age to spay? I just assumed (probably wrongly) that this was an older pup because the OP said it was obvious she wasn't going to be big enough to breed.
Sorry to butt in here, but this thread has made me curious.  |
Well I don't send AKC papers till I have proof of spay/neuter. I also have a contract. Which to some people a contract might not always be the best but it helps along with not giving AKC papers till having proof. A crook will always find a loophole, the best way it to have them spayed /neutered prior to leaving. I think really the best way to ensure this doesn't turn out the wrong way is to make sure you really know who & where your puppies are going. I would say the best age to spay is anywhere between 6-10 months, this is also a good time to have any retained teeth pulled as well.
