Congrats-and-Thanks for Spay/Neutering !!!

**GreyhoundGirl** · 08-08-2006, 12:06 PM

I thought it would be a good idea to do a congrats and thanks for everyone whos dog is spayed or neutered. You can also say ( if you know ) if S/he was spay/neutered before first litter. If you breed, than it doesn't matter. We should start one for cats too. As there are many more cats in shelters than dogs.

Don't litter, spay/neuter your pet !

I'll start:

Jenny
Spayed at 6 months

all my dogs were fixed before 6 months.

Miagi ( my cat) was fixed a few weeks after we got him and Tiger (my cat) was already fixed when we got him.

None of my pets have ever had litters (except for a few I rescued/fostered and were found already pregnant, but were spayed asap) and they were all spayed or neutered at the age of 6 months or before (or in Nanooks case as soon as we adopted him at 8 months of age) with the exception of Kaige. he is not neutered YET, just a few more months to let his bones & joints grow properly & he'll be getting the big snip. Don't worry though, we keep a close eye on him & he will NOT be bred.

Brutus my Smooth Collie is nuetered
Kandie my Sable Female is Spayed
Viktor my 4 mos old puppy (who is for sale) is still intact
And of Course Steele my Stud Smooth blue merle rough is still intact for the conformation ring. And of course he models for PetsMart Stores.

Shadow was spayed before her first heat

Mini was spayed after her first litter

Jack and Micki were both neutered before the age of 3 months

Kyra is intact...and she will NOT be bred. We haven't found a place thats willing to do the surgery on her. If its up to my mom she will probably always be intact because of the (little) risk that's involved with putting her under.

Star was spayed at 8 months. It would have been done sooner, but she had a grade 4-5 heart murmur that needed surgery first.

Wilbur was neutered at 3 years old, which was when the rescue found him.

All my animals have been spayed/neutered.
Duke: neutered at 6 months

Nebo was neutered at 4 months. He's the only dog I've personally been responsible for and paid to have it done.

Sydney was spayed when my sister had her...she was still a pup, I'd say around 6 months or earlier.

Reggie was not neutered until after we got Nebo (and no we did not breed him or let him roam my parents just didn't understand the need to do it...they have since learned) I think that would make him about 9 years old when it was done.

My pets will always been spayed/neutered.

Tango was spayed at 7 months, much sooner than I'd have liked. Tia was spayed at 6 months, Morgan at 10 weeks (which IMO is waaay too young), and Winston was neutered at 6 1/2 years (before we adopted him).

I prefer to spay dogs after their first heat and my age preference is around 18 months or so to allow for proper growth and development. All of my future dogs will be spayed after their first heats, and somewhere between this age if I'm not showing them. If I ever have another male, the same age will apply.
