There are breeders that have bred dogs for years that have 0 incidence of mammary cancer. The statics show that most mammary tumors are in dogs between the ages of 6 and 10 years of age and that 55% of those tumors are benign. Those are facts and not opinion.
There are very sound reasons to wait to have a tiny dog spayed. Many times, but not all the time, they are not as strong as a regular sized dog just because of the kind of genetic manipulation that was done to develop a tiny. I would not risk putting a young tiny through a spay procedure not knowing if her heart could take it and also not being aware of future problems that may develop. That is my opinion and I have every right to state it. If your opinion differs then it is just your opinion against mine.
I will not be misquoted or misrepresented by you! I would advise you once more....there are opinions and then there are facts. If you have an opinion---FINE! State it as just that, an opinion! Attacking people for not agreeing with you is counterproductive
Not all dogs and not even a large percentage of dogs that go through a heat cycle develop mammary cancer so don't infer that they do. If you or anyone else does not believe me then look it up. The information is easy enough to find. I'm not going to do it for you. I am disgusted by you constant attacks on people who differ with you. |
First off I never said you did but u did say this

The tiny tends to mature slowly and being slow growers they may not reach physical maturity until much later than a regular sized dog. Some studies are suggesting that spaying too early can actually be the cause of tumors and many other health issues that we are seeing in our pets. If you are interested in finding out more there are studies you can read about online in order to make your own decision.

Which is not true on so many levels one there are no study's in small dogs and two there is no science to back up that early spaying can cause "tumors" when getting the pre surgery blood work and nothing being wrong on it or with the dog anesthesia is perfectly safe and that is a fact. Most statistics are made up or have no real truth to them. Dogs who are not spayed before there first heat have an 8% chance of getting mammary cancer and it goes much higher after the next heat and then so on. It is quoted above if you need to see that. Again I am posting facts with science to back them up but a lot of what your posting just your opinion. I will never sit back and watch someone give the wrong info because it can be dangerous. I believe if any attacking is being done it's by you. Have a lovely day
