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.

That's why I think it doesn't need a sticky! JMHO!!!

I have to agree, I think the OP of the Early S/N post thread is anti-spade/neuter. I don't think this thread would help with the issue of stopping bad breeding. JMO
