Oh Yes Helen! This early spay/ neutering is making me ill. I do understand
how shelter folks feel--really I do. But it is not fair to the animal to
spay/neuter as babes. Sandi Card

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Picking Puppies
> I've been reading the posts that talk about spaying or neutering puppies
at 8 weeks or younger. I almost had an attack! There are so many reasons
not to do that... least of which is the emotional, painful experience at
such an early age. Like all very young or very old people, dogs
what-have-you, puppies are more susceptible to having a problem with the
anesthetic. Giving just the right dose can be touchy. Male puppies robbed
of testosterone that early in life will probably not develop the proper
secondary sex characteristics. It honestly makes me ill to think of
subjecting a baby puppy to major surgery when not a matter of life and
death. I always waited until minimum of 6 months of age if not longer.
