From reading the article it seems that early spay/neutering can increase the chances of a number of serious heath issues that the dog would not encounter if they were not spay/neutered at a very young age. So those breeders that advocate early neutering and call those that don't unethical better reconsider. How would a breeder feel if they have their pups neutered at a early age and those pups grow up with all kinds of health problems and then the puppy buyers will blame it on the breeder. You are right....you're damned if you do and your damned if you don't. Those that think breeding is easy....think again....we are all still learning.
| Barbara I just took time to read the article you wanted us to read and it is very interesting and very scary also. I feel as you do the Health Screening is a different issue. I also think us Breeders will get the blame if we spay/neuter to early and then the puppies end up with health issues from us spaying/neutering to early. I think you both are right...We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. AMEN on "Those that think breeding is easy...think again...we are all still learning. I guess we as Breeder will have to learn more on the subject and talk to our vets about it all. Hugs :) Lee |

this is what I am thinking also... many many breeders now spay/nueter the puppies before they leave their home.. maybe this is just too darn early.. interesting thread.. thanks.. anne
| I don't know I was wanting to have Sages babies Spay/Neutered before they left our home but now don't know what to do about it. I'm glad I have a while before we breed to learn more on this. Hugs :) Lee |

| Tina our Vet won't do any spay/neuter until our Puppies are 7 Months old due to their being a small breed. I also would do the full blood panel on each if I choose to have any puppies spay/neutered before leaving my home. It is worth the extra money to have it done. Hugs :) Lee |
