I think that Gemy has made the point in some of her posts that not enough studies have been done on the health effects of spaying small dogs, and she even stated that in her opinion, unless the dog is quality, genetically tested breeding stock, spaying is the best thing to do in the case of Yorkies. She is simply trying to put factual information about the effects of spaying out there for people to consider, and that it's not a black and white issue for
every breed. People can disagree with that, and that's okay, but... implying that Gemy is not qualified to speak on this topic because she had a dog who tested positive for heartworms is a low blow, especially if you read the thread that was cited, in which it's clear that it was her husband's fault, and she felt absolutely horrible about it. And it is also completely irrelevant to her qualifications to speak on the subject.
