It is a complex issue and there are differing views stated. I got the impression that there are disadvantages to spay/neuter before the dogs are fully matured.
Please do not kill the messenger, I just write here as I had never seen any article questioning the procedure - only the advantages. |
It sounds like what your talking about is early spay and neuter and she is talking about her 2 year old dog.
