I agree with Stormy 100% Marie K.

Or your great stud dog, who is now retired from the ring, must be neutered? And those pups that you know would grow to be much healthier and mature much better if not spayed at 4 months, but wait for their full growth, say at 18 months? they should be neutered at 4 months to comply with the ordinance? This is not a fence that should be straddled. Stormy In a message dated 4/18/06 8:46:21 PM, ELG440@xxxxxxx writes: > It did pass.
