[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lab, golden, tolerant mutt pup. It'd get a young dog or a puppy from a reputable breeder or a good byb who raises hunting stock, since most of the show stock i see is structurally unsound. I'd trade the inconvenience of a pup for the luxury of knowing exactly what training it's getting: make the pup everywhere you can past its shots. Do some research as well, because the recommended amount of shots and such has changed and not all the vets are aware. Be prepared to keep your pup on the lean side, and [b]DON'T spay or neuter until it is well over a year old[/b]. [/quote]

Please don't say this as if it's a universal recommendation. The issue is very controversial, with evidence both for neutering early and for neutering late. I suggest people do their own research, talk to their vet, and come to their own decision about what age to spay/neuter their pet.[/quote]

Neutering early is in fashion due to the volumes  of dogs/cats in shelters.  Good professional breeders of AKC registered breeds don't charge $2500 for large dogs and deliver them fixed at 8 weeks.  Designer breeders do often deliver them fixed since they know their market-people who want no bother even with a vacuum cleaner.[/quote]
