 Spaying/Neutering a Puppy
What is everyone's feelings about spaying or neutering a puppy before it goes home to its' new owner? I've done my homework and have settled on three breeders that I feel are breeding top of the line puppies. The problem is that all three alter the puppies prior to being sold. I'm just not comfortable with this. It's like castrating a baby. I'm sure they need the hormones they will loose for proper development, both mentally and physically. The breeders say it's to protect their lines. I would not have a problem with them holding the registration papers until proof of spaying/neutering is provided at around months or older.
Should I stay with these breeders or find one that does not alter so young? |
