Is Your Yorkie "Fixed" or Intact. Hey Everybody!!:D, so how many people have gotten their yorkie fixed? How many people have not? how do you feel about your decision? I havent gotten my yorkie fixed, nor has my mother or sister gotten theirs. I feel like it wrong, and im completly happy with my decision. Also a really close friend of mines dog just died during the procedure... :(.. so yea. How do you all feel? |
That's what it's all about, doing what "you" feel is right for you and your pet...I waited 'till Apple was 12 months old, because I don't believe in early spay.....Buzz is 10 months old, and I haven't had him neutured, but will, if it seems in his best interest...Right now, he's o.k. not neutured... |
Sophie was spayed at about 8 months. I think it's the responsible thing to do if you are not a breeder who breeds for the betterment and standard of the breed. I think it's healthier for your female, too. |
My guy goes in next week...I am a little nervous but know it will be fine. |
All of my pets are fixed by 6 months old. Morgan, my female yorkie, was done at 6 months old and 3lbs before her first heat. My cats were both rescues so they were done at the shelter. I've worked in the veterinary field for many years and have seen the consequences of not spaying/neutering your pets and its not pretty. When something does come up that is causing your pet to suffer that is linked to not altering your pets its very sad because it could have been prevented by one simple little operation. |
I also believe it is the responsible thing to do...unless you are a responsible breeder or a knowledgeable pet owner who will take full responsibility for any ooops...whether you have a male or female...remember that commercial ? There is no such things as accidents...just preventions not taken! |

I'm curious, why do you think it's wrong? Mine are all spayed or neutered, I feel it's the responsible thing to do. |
All five of mine are spayed/neutered. I never intended to breed or show them and in the long run it saves any health problems relating to not getting them fixed. I have a tiny Yorkie(Charlee) and she was spayed at 5 months with no problems. Rambo( inherited him this year) was neutered at age 11. His Dad that passed away was always scared of him being under anestisia(ms) but he finally listened to reason and did it. I think it is the responsible thing to do! |
I'm glad that mine are done. |
I, personally, would never own a male dog that was not neutered. So Buddy's been neutered. |
All of mine are spayed/neutered. It's best for their health and keeps me from "accidentally" contributing to the pet over-population. Since I have not researched and educated myself on breeding, and since I could never risk losing my girl to pregnancy complications, it's the only responsible thing to do. |
Yes - absolutely! :thumbup: Infact, Las Vegas just passed an ordinance that unless you have a fancier's license - all dogs must be fixed. There's entirely too many people who allow their dogs to remain in tact and then don't want to deal with the consequences of unwanted, sick or unhomed pets. It is the "responsible" thing to do as a pet owner. There will always be risks for any kind of surgery but the number of deaths is very low for this procedure. |
I have never owned a pet who was not spayed or neutered nor would I. Jada is a retired breeder and she was spayed before we adopted her. Bogie was neutered at 10 months old. Too many risks for me to consider leaving them unaltered. |

I think that's great. Millions of dogs suffer every year, millions more are PTS because owner's are just plain ignorant. I hope other's states follow this procedure. |

Yes, we've always spayed or neutered all of our pets. It's not only the responsible thing to do, but it is the right thing to do. |
