Iowa State Press, Blackwell Publishing Company, Ames, Iowa, p. 575 As far as I am aware there are no extant studies on Yorkies alone, for spay/neuter breed specific risks. My opinion is if waiting (does no harm), but early spaying results in boney abnormalities then wait to spay/neuter. Again Mike as a breeder of BIG Dogs, it is not just about getting "more" muscle it is about lowering the incidence of HD, and about getting optimum bone density, and good very good skeletal structure. An analogy is that the bones are the scaffolding- or the frame of your house, weak frame, offset joints of the house ---- WEAK HOUSE. The muscles attach to the bones, and move the joints through space. Weak bones, improper angulations, and you set up the dog for problems later on in life.

Canine Sports Productions: Early Spay-Neuter Considerations for the Canine Athlete I find another Early Spay/neuter That says there's really not much difference? I'm not worried about my Yorkie. But my Uncle breeds American Bulldogs and I don't see any difference between the fixed and the Studs. I'm just curious not trying to argue. The dogs that get fixed are younger than normal. I tell him he should wait a year but he says he need to do it early..for whatever reason Last edited by ironmike86; 08-22-2012 at 04:06 PM. | |

In terms of Bulldogs, I don't know enough about that particular breed to offer an opinion one way or the other. I don't know why he needs to spay early and just what early means.
