Spaying and neutering is PRIMARILY to avoid making more unwanted puppies and euthanasia, OP. An accidental pregnancy can happen in a few seconds.

Practically, it’s much easier to board your dog if they’re fixed.

I own an un-neutered stud who is supposed to better his breed and contribute to lines free of heritable genetic disorders. It’s a ton of responsibility that most people are not prepared for.

Get your dog neutered at 2, when they’re fully adult.
Early spay and neuters is very bad for dogs’ long-term health.

[/quote] uh, no. Females who aren’t spayed before age 2 have a significantly higher risk of breast cancer. My cat was a neglected stray who wasn’t spayed before two Anna she has nasty tumors on her mammary chain when she was ten. Dogs have the same risk. [/quote]

So basically they are finding that it's better for joints and drastically lowers the risk of bone cancers if you wait until the female is fully developed at around 2. You just need to decide which risk you are more comfortable with. Apparently mammary tumors are easier to diagnose and treat than bone cancer.  [/quote]
