You can take statistics and skew them anyway you want them skewed, so I don't buy into that. The new statistics say that what is posted isn't right, so, there you have it... I also have a friend in Boston who is a vet and actively advocates for juvenile spay/neuter.

I am totally in favor of mandatory spay/neuter. I also think the AKC needs to pull itself out of the Dark Ages and not require the show dogs to be unaltered. They do enough to further puppy mills, they don't need to make more pups! I know the old story of "better the breed" but, that's just ridiculous...they don't bother to look at the millions of dogs and cats that are killed each year because no one wants them...most times their response is, "they're just mixed breeds, why are you worried, we're furthering the good of the breed." OY!
