Ive heard that you should let your bitch have at least one set of pups before she is nutured. Is this true and if so what are the benifits?
What age can a dog be spayed?
Big myth! I don't know where that whole thing originated but if you think about it, letting a female have a litter "just because" is a really dumb idea. There are no benefits that I can come up with.
You can spay a female anytime around 6 months or after.
gavin, the last i heard was that vets are now recommending that females be spayed when they reach maturity. they are finding out that dogs, like humans, need some of those hormones for other things besides reproduction and there have been some health issues in dogs spayed too early. (though certainly it can be done anytime after 6 mo) the most common reasons for spaying would, ofcourse, be to eliminate the heats, pregnancies and unwanted litters. bonus to that is the elimination of uterine infections and cancers both uterine and breast.
as cindy pointed out, it is foolishness to breed a female unless she definately has something to offer the breed, but then that is a bottom-line question that everyone needs to ask before breeding.
if there are no dogs in heaven, then when i die i want to go where they went. ---will rogers
