Another thing that bothers me is how about the health of the female who is pregnant and going to have puppies because they thought there dog would be healthier not spayed? What if that dog is 3 pounds? Does that matter? Does dogs reproducing that have horrible genetic illnesses and are very unhealthy and have pups who have them and suffer until they die which could be years and years in pain? Do these dogs health not matter? What about the irresponsible owners who see this and use this as reason not to spay there dog and it keeps getting pregnant? Sure didn't help advocate for that dog just live and happy life as a pet. Being pregnant and whelping is not fun its not comfortable and putting a dog through that for no reason is messed up and wrong. My research shows getting your dogs altered is healthier then not. No I didn't think it should be done before 6 months but I still think it should be done before females first heat. The biggest thing that needs to be in bold is these studies are on big dogs and small dogs are VERY different then big dogs so much so I think it voids most of the studies. I care about dog is shelters and the million put to sleep every year but my dogs health comes first and I feel altering my dog gives them the best chance at the healthiest and happiest life.
