| I have purchased two yorkies from GiGi at Blumoon Yorkies. The last one just a week ago. She is a show breeder and breeds for the betterment of the breed. I now have two beautiful yorkies just like I've alway wanted! GiGi is always available to her clients whenever there is any question concerning their health and well-being. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a quality pup. GiGi always looks for the best situation in which to place her dogs. |

That's interesting. I will alter a dog before a bitch. I disagree with early altering for myself. Not sure if I would feel the same if I sold pets. Maybe I would change my thinking. The side effects are not as bad as a possible breeding. | |

| Many breed fanciers do it without any problems. Where the real problems are is in large breeds. I respect all of the people that I know that do it, they've all been successful with it. Just because you have a limited contract does not mean everyone honors it. With holding funds isn't going to stop someone, people can say it was an accident or not tell you. Given the choice, we feel that it's better not to early alter. I support the people that chose to do it early. |

I would have preferred to wait to have him altered but knew this was the requirement and didn't think it would be detrimental to his health.....so far, it hasn't been. From what I've read there is more of a problem in early neutering for larger breed dogs than smaller breeds. It's a shame breeders have had to resort to early neutering, but I do understand.

| I think if one reads the various threads on this forum from people who purchased a pup and now is looking to stud it out or worse, has bred a bitch with no knowledge of anything, it isn't hard to understand why reputable breeders have had to resort to spay/neuter before it goes anywhere. Contracts aren't always honoured that it won't be bred. Pups are sold unregistered or registered with a bogus registry, and the new owner certainly can't go to the breeder when they run into problems or questions with a whelping because it was not supposed to have been bred in the first place. |

| But if I recall, Gigi's reason is that she only trusts her vet to do the Fixing of the pup, and not the new owners. No doubt she breeds great Yorkies, but personally speaking, I will not have one fixed at an early age of 3-4 months. Now no use in jumping on me. It is my opinion, and mine only. When we get another one, the breeder will have enough faith in me and Marge to know we will get ours fixed and by the best of Vets. but when it is a little older. |
