Kirby BRAND SPANKING NEW!

[wolfsoul]

If you can't afford to neuter, you really can't afford to show. Maybe contact a low-cost spay/neuter clinic, or see if you have a Canine Connections near you that will sponsor Kirby and pay for him to get fixed? My dog is a showdog, and the entries are usually reasonable, but the costs really do add up. Entering two shows can be the same price as neutering. Neutering really is cheaper in the long run and you can avoid some health and behavioural problems, not to mention "accidents" that can get you in alot of trouble and kill animals that need homes in shelters. Maybe talk to the breeder and see if you can have Kirby on a co-ownership -- that way she may be willing to pay the entry fees to allow Kirby into shows. I just hate to see a dog go unaltered for money reasons.

I Was Just Thinking That, It Adds Up For 2 Days At A Show Just For The Entries Were 60 And Thats How Much It Cost To Get Her Spayed And It Would Be Lower For You Because She Is A Smaller Breed.

well i cant do a co-ownership since i'm leavin the state in 3 months for good and not returning...ever again. well i see what i can do, i was thinkin of breeding also. but i guess i will see where the wind takes me, maybe my grandma can chip in some money to get him fixed.

But i did ask the breeder what she thinks and she thinks that getting him fixed isnt a big deal and that it would better for him not to be. But she said gettin him fixed has its good points, but she still thinks leavin him unfixed is fine.

Co-ownership outside of the state is no problem. Visa's mother lives here in BC and she is co-owned with another breeder down in the states.

Remember that breeding will cost you thousands of dollars -- it's definatly not something that you can afford if you can't afford a $50 operation!

[Kirbys Mom]

oh its just 50 bucks wow, i thought it was more. my collie got sprayed it was 200 bucks. so i thought it would be around there or something.

The price of neutering varies, depending on where you go. I agree that you should check out a low cost spay/neuter clinic. Around here, they only charge $45 for a neuter. I think that the best thing would be to get him neutered

[Kirbys Mom]

Ya maybe it is a good idea, thanks guys for swaying me i see now that maybe gettin kirby fixed even if he isnt broken lol. I will do it after i leave and i'm in ohio. since about feb he should be about 5 months good time as any i think.

OHHHH what a cutie OHHHHHHHH PUPPY BREATH i love that stuff

I would call friends of animals they have a low cost spay/nueter i think it's around 50.00 for a male dog i really would get him neutered though heck the electric company can miss one payment.

Have fun with the new pup puppy breath puppy breath sorry i'm addicted
