I found it;

Here is the link:


Looking for mini or toy poodle breeders in nj

and here is the particular quote:

"His name appears to be Thomas A. Becker.. "Wingold Yorkshire Terriers" and a basic read over his website looks pretty good. No big red flags to me.

Spaying has very very little to do with behavioral issues. While I fully understand and support the reasons and need to spay and neuter dogs coming through rescue and shelter AND for anyone that is not confident to keep an intact dog, I have not seen any current medical research that suggests spaying before first heat. Some dog training classes will only allow one intact dog at a time in a class, some dog daycares won't take intact dogs at all, and some boarding places have addition restrictions on intact dogs. Pyometra is a risk over time so I wouldn't leave a female intact her whole life personally, but 1 or 2 heats and full grown would be my preference if I were to purchase a puppy (mine are adult rescues). Full grown for a small breed is around 15-18 months give or take.

Registration papers are just saying the dog is pure bred basically. Allows options for competing in dog sports without having a dog neutered (Chester is AKC registered so we could do some sports but not conformation showing for example).

Breeding well costs money and there are a lot of risks for the momma dog and the pups too. But "teacup" and "micro" are just bad breeder advertising terms. "

--

To be honest I recall 2 other people in there recommending the same. I apologize if it came off as me trying to advise about that; but my intentions were as to question. I question because of conflicting opinions. That forum in particular isn't a bad one either. SO I am not sure if it's just a personal preference or if there are actual studies that proves one or the other-- like hard core evidence.

Then again I am quite naive which is why I make it a habit to re-question what I think is already knowledge, as it maybe in fact incorrect.

I mean currently it has no effect on the outcome as the dog has already been spayed by them-- but it's more of like if there ever came a time where I was to get a dog again, or if one of my family members wanted one-- then I would like to be well informed so I could advise them properly if needed.

I mean currently, we're not having anymore dogs, but my siblings who live the a few towns over might eventually get a dog of their own(if they get a pet, it would definitely be a dog as it's what they have mentioned thus far).

I want to be well learned with everything... but the internet being the internet... truth sometimes are hidden among false information and/or lies... so it becomes a bit hard to discern fact from fiction when there's nearly different guides out there, and even with veterinarians have different opinions and facts... To top it off, being somewhat naive/gullible doesn't help the situation either.
That is HIS PREFERENCE not a Veterinarians . Veterinarians advise to spay before first heat, there are some people that prefer to wait until growth plates have closed and will spay on the second heat. That is the persons preference / choice not a Veterinarians.
