My vet highly recommended spaying by 6 months of age .... his recommendation was based on research he had done, not on what he had read in his veterinary journals. This was over 25 years ago! Every vet I have had occasion to discuss this subject with still make the same recommendation even now and for all the same reasons! I would think after all these years, if the early research were wrong, we would know it by now?

[KRAP!! I just realized that this is off-topic .... sorry! And, yes, I think there should be a sticky compiling the experience/knowledge of the wonderful breeders that we have on YT!]
