PRO Spay and Neuter. Most of you know I will get on a soapbox about please spay and neuter. But I have changed my opinion about when to do it. My Vet who specializes in fertility, said Yorkies should be spayed or neutered AFTER growth is compleat. And for most dogs that is around one year of age.
I would guess 80% of the dogs in my Vet's practice are AKC show dogs, AKC Breeding stock, or retired breeders. She is very up to date with new findings and research. She gave me a stack of booklets about why waiting is important. After reading them I agree spaying after maturity is better.
