Several years back shelters started spaying and neutering kittens and puppies before they would let them go. Some vets feel it is safe but there are also others that feel it is safer to wait. I agree that spaying or neutering a young puppy is not a good idea.
I know some breeders sometimes have older pups that I can understand them neutering or spaying before they let them go. I think if I was a breeder I would be very concerned about one of my pups getting into the hands of an irresponsible person that would breed them. Still, overall, the health aspect is very important. Making sure the puppy goes to a responsible owner is also a must. |
