Hard for me to grasp your thinking on this. If it were your body, would you want someone to put you at that risk? I know that may sound stupid to some, but I really do think that more people should think about whether they would put themselves in the same position as they would a dog.
We are not talking about vision and hearing changes here.  |
The more I think would people and I think the answer is definitely no there are women out there who get tested for the breast cancer gene now and if they have it they have a mastectomy even though there is a chance they might not get cancer. Since we can't do that with our dogs per say we should spay them before there first heat if possible because then the mammarys are not developed.
