HMMMMmmmm I thought the discussion was about a "pet" puppy being shown????? I've never been able to figure out how a post starts one way....and ends up another and the subject line stays the same. My point was that with an AKC Limited Reg. the puppy that Steve sold as a pet, could not be shown as a conformation dog. Regarding what you are onto now as per this thread...... It's my responsibility as a Breeder to know what type of home the pup is going into and I take that very seriously. We STILL do not spay or neuter 9 - 12 week old pups and have never yet had one pet buyer breed one yet. We have found ALL good pet buyers plan on spaying or neutering right away and I advise them to try to wait a little longer but that decision is up to their Vet and them on exactly when. If you chose to spay or neuter that young before they go into homes and it works for you.....that's what you should do.........not me.
