I believe that this review article still supports the understanding that spaying has a much greater effect on large breed dogs than small breed dogs with respect to increased rates of CCL tears and hip dysplasia. When I last checked with researchers at UC Davis a year ago, this was still the case. I'll take another look and see if any new research has been published since.
