Joy Tiz Webboard User Reg: 07-25-2001 Posts: 472 Loc: Offline	Yes, I've seen lots of bitches get really screwy just before and during their heat cycles. Some get unbalanced hormonally somehow and stay weird for wks after. Most working PSD bitches are spayed for that reason. Joy Tiz, MS, JD Donner-Haus Shepherds http://www.donnerhaus.com

Laureen Moran Webboard User Reg: 09-05-2001 Posts: 390 Loc: Offline	Richard - are there any studies more recent than 1991? And I did not see a reference to heavier, merely taller. Am I missing something? Joy - I am going to get bloodwork soon on my senior, the vet advised me not to spay her but I will follow up on your advice and get the bloodwork, thanks for the advice. She is not a protection dog, but is very trained and has been really weird during her heat cycle.

Laura Sanborn Webboard User Reg: 07-16-2001 Posts: 165 Loc: Offline	Getting back to the original question, about spay/neuter impacts on dogs that are protection trained, take a look at what Ed wrote about this on this website: Last question, scroll to the bottom on this one: http://www.leerburg.com/qapropup1.htm Or here: http://www.leerburg.com/breedqa.htm#spay This was confirmed by two other working dog protection trainers I spoke with.

"The risk of breast cancer was significantly reduced in dogs spayed at or before 2.5 years of age." You can spay at two years of age and have the best of both worlds.
