Connie,
Hm... My count was actually 9 lower than that figure, but okay. At any rate, based on your 10,789 posts, that leaves at least a total of 3,187 neutering threads you have not personally participated in.
One common belief that I want to dispel is that spayed dogs get fat; fat dogs are the owner's fault.
I can second that. Shabbado was spayed at 6 months at the rescue shelter and is anything but fat. Her recent checkup the vet was impressed that we managed to keep her lean.

Good work! An excellent diet and not too much of it -- two crucial aspects, IMHO, to optimal health.
I love that sig pic, by the way! Politely smiling for the camera while remembering where she left off with that much-more-important task!
It's a percentage, and as mentioned on this thread, and in the study, it hasn't been cleaned up to represent the ages at which the dogs were neutered.
I would suspect that many of neutering effects seen in the study are mitigated, at least to some degree, by neutering after 1 year of age or older.
