hi i have a poode also but she has been fixed. i have had that awful fear of loosing her also cause shes pretty much my best friend. you hear so many things good and bad. ive always been told that poodles get breast cancer and that getting them fixed always cuts down the risk. and if theres any way i can keep my girl around longer i will and did. you really have to have alot of faith to me in your vet. your angel will be fine.
