Hello all,
I asked my vet about early spay and neuter, hes pretty old school.........his personal belief and practice is 5-6 months at the earliest. I cant give you studies or web notes or addresses as to why. He simply said its better for the puppy in his opinion, letting their anatomy mature, their overall growth ( including hormones) then he will perform the surgery. I respect his opinion hes been my vet for many a year.
He did give me a long talk about spay and neuter contracts. He asked me to implement them.
I do believe a buyer should have a choice as to whether they breed their dog or not, but if you know from the get go the puppy is under contract not to breed, it is not an option to breed them at anytime.
Just do not buy from breeders with this contract. The no breeding clause is put in there for a reason. |
