I just don't understand what putting a sticky on something like that, has to due with irresponsible breeders. Seriously, I don't think that particular thread was started to help cut down on unscrupulous people with no morals. If I am wrong please correct me, but the thread starter said she wanted to know if this was healthy for a small young pup, not if it would stop cross registration of litters...

I have wanted to start a thread about this for a while and it came up again tonight in a couple of threads with breeders rightfully concerned about protecting their lines.
I just wondered about how the procedure, for example, is different, if it is, for a puppy under 12 weeks, at what age or weight do they consider it safe, are the risks greater than for an older puppy, and that sort of thing? I know that the breeders who do this are concerned about the health and well being of their babies so I know they would not risk their health un reasonably but I know that I am petrified of putting my tiny dogs at 8 months under aneshtesia much less a young pup under a lb.
Hefner was under a lb when I got him at 12 weeks and he was already neutered.
My feelings on neutering are well known on here and I really am not looking for a debate about this but just the facts and any studies that anyone is aware of that prove this procedure is safe for young puppies.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
