Mike J Schoonbrood Webboard User Reg: 04-30-2005 Posts: 2784 Loc: Toronto, ON Offline	Does anyone know of any good articles to read on pro's and con's of spaying a female and what ages will have which effect on the dog? i.e. better to spay before first heat, or what effect it'll have if spayed at 6 years old etc. I hate to spay/neuter dogs when they are puppies, I don't know what I'm gonna have for breakfast tomorrow morning, let alone wether I'll want to breed my super duper awesome working dog in 5 years. So any insight people can give me as to pro's and con's of spaying and at which ages would be much appreciated <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Animals that are spayed prior to one year of age very rarely develop this malignancy. Spaying a dog before her first heat is the best way to significantly reduce the chance your dog will develop mammary cancer. The risk of malignant mammary tumors in dogs spayed prior to their first heat is 0.05%. It is 8% for dog spayed after one heat, and 26% in dogs spayed after their second heat.

Oops, I meant to include this URL to a forum discussion. Page two provides at least three links to web sites about why/why not spay. http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/4156843/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1
