this is certainly great information. We have to weigh what is more important. If the majority of breeders are responsible and the majority of pet buyers were educated on the details of the breed they are buying then waiting to spay or neuter is absolutely the answer..... but ....... as we all know hundreds and maybe thousands of breeders and pet buyers are not educated and are not particularly interested in the health issues, the byb's and mills want their money and the uneducated want their cutee patutee baby mini cross bred (who knows how many times) puppy. In the later cases, I encourage the vets to spay/neuter asap, as unhappy that makes me feel. |
