If I were a breeder, I would spay and neuter my dogs BEFORE they left my home. But if the dog was of show quality, I would keep him/her longer until that can be determined for sure and if the answer was yes, then I'd carefully screen and choose a reputable person to adopt the dog for breeding but this would not be a decision made lightly.

I have had too many people tell me or heard from others - that buyers can just go to another registry to get them registered and then still breed. Who knows which male they will breed to. It is not as simply as whether the female is of good breeding quality, but also every male they would breed her too. I just can't take the risk by letting one of my pups go without being spay/neuter unless I know the person is very knowledgeable and respectable (I need to know then well). Too much money, time, and care has gone into my breeding and my name for one person to come along and mess it all up in one breeding. My names are on those papers and by golly I need to do what I can to protect the standard.
It is just too easy for one to go to another registery these days - so you have to be careful.
