I have started having some of my Puppies fixed before they leave. The first was done about a year ago. I am doing it for the new owners that are in favor of it. I am really considering getting all of my Puppies fixed before they go to their new home unless I am selling to a person that is preapproved not to have it done. Here is a little info on it... http://www.columbusdogconnection.com/PedSpayNeuter.htm |

No way. If people spay and neuter their dogs and cats more often than now then in the future there will not be any left. |

You know, everyone has an opinion about this, and everyone has to make up their own mind about what is best for their Puppies.
I am just concerned that the rescue community is SO passionate about this issue that they have effectivley squelched the information about the negative sides of this proceedure.
I KNOW they feel that the 'risk of creating unwanted Puppies and kittens' outweighs the risks to individual animals, I just don't agree.
I DO trust my families to be responsible to a certain degree. I don't think 'only pets' in the home are at a huge risk of inpregnation before 12 months. Particularly the Boxers that DO NOT CYCLE before a year.
I am more concerned about the effects of the PEDIATRIC spaying/neutering. Especially since I just looked at this article concerning THYROID ISSUES which Boxers are also very prone to have.
Check out this article that I was able to dig up/
