Isn't there potential future health problems for the pups spayed/neutered that young? If that companion puppy develops problems as a result of being fixed so young, will you be part of the solution for that family? Do not everyone single one of the puppies you breed deserve the best start in life regardless of whether it is a future select or a companion? Does not every person who gives you money for a puppy deserve to expect the same level of health regardless of the pups 'quality'. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
