Unless you plan a responsible breeding program and are certain you canplace the puppies from such a program, castrating and spaying arerecommended to avoid the serious problem of unwanted puppies. Female puppies can be spayed at any time after six months of age.Spaying prior to the first estrus cycle helps minimize the risk ofuterine infections and mammary tumors common in older unspayed females. Neutering the male dog can be done at six months of age or any agethereafter. A neutered dog will be more content to stay at home andwill not wander in search of females in season, making a bettercompanion. Some people believe that when dogs are neutered or spayed they alwaysbecome fat. If this is the case, it is usually because they are calmerand less active - and they overeat relative to their lower caloricrequirement. In some cases, this might lead to obesity. A closemonitoring of their diet (eliminating table scraps and, if necessary,reducing the amount of dog food offered) and regular exercise will helpthem maintain good body condition. |
