I have taken some time to ponder what this would mean for pet owners everywhere.
People who couldn't afford the surgery for whatever reasons would be able to sterilize their family pet.
Like it was said in everyone of the links it would cut down on pet overpopulation, less animals would die.
Responsible Breeders could do this before the pups went to their new homes. Contracts and money back can only do so much. Not everyone will think they have to follow whats on a piece of paper and some will think they can make more money when they have puppies so won't think twice about the money they would get back from spaying.
Right now the only issue I have is this . Will this be something else we as show breeders have to watch out for at dog shows? |
Those are valid points. My question to that would be, will breeders be sterilizing dogs at a younger age? Don't the pups need to have all their functions (and this includes hormones) in order to develop properly? (I genuinely don't know the answer to that)
