which is easier to handle neutering a male dog or fixing a female dog??

Have both fixed at the same time. Recovery time is about the same for both, but the female requires more attention and care as she has the abdominal stitches that require a bit more "delicate" handling. My Sami girl, when she was done, was ready to run wild at 3 am, the day after surgery, keeping her quiet until daybreak was a challenge! Best of luck to your babies, I'm sure they will be fine.

I agree with everyone else, get them both altered at the same time. You were given some very good reasons for altering both the male and female, and I agree with them all.

I also agree that the problem won't be recovery time, it will be how to convince them that they NEED recovery time. 24 hours after a spay is the longest I've ever managed to keep a dog "calm and quiet". You will be amazed at how quickly they bounce back.

oh i for sure plan on getting them both fixed at the same time, and i already talked to my boss tonite and she will give me the extra days to take off so i can be home during recovery time. as for being calm, they are pretty calm as it is. the only time they get roudy is when someone comes home after being gone all day. i plan on keeping them in my bedroom with me and my hubby with a bed set up and all there food and such to keep them quiet i am going to play soft music ( they love it and will go right to sleep)..

again, thanks for all the advise about getting them done, as far as i know i will be getting them done 2gether in the next week. wish me luck on recovery time.
