  Also if the breeder does the spay/neuter.....it removes any "perceived" value of the dog to a breeder.  So from a dog's perspective....he has NO VALUE to anyone except a pet/companion owner.  I consider this to be a dog's insurance he/she will NOT end up living in somebody's back yard or in some tiny cage....being bred to death.
