Her previous owner doesn't sound like a very responsible person.. that's such a shame.

She CAN get cancer, yes. And so could the male. But by having them both fixed you greatly decrease the risk, if not eliminate it all together!

Well, if she's gone into heat and had babies already than the risk is only going to be reduced by spaying. But if they take out the entire uterus than they can't possibly get that kind of cancer (uterine and ovarian). Dogs get all sorts of cancers. You should spay anyway though.

That's what they do when they spay -- take out the entire uteris.

wait now does your dad want to breed them??? I mean tell you dad over 10,000 healthy dogs get euthenized in shelters every year because of the over population. I mean do you show you dogs?

**chealy731** · 12-04-2005, 07:17 PM

no we don't show our dogs..we just got them a day ago. And they're AKC registered(whatever that is...I think america kennel club)

**Flatcoatluver** · 12-04-2005, 07:20 PM

yeah but having them akc registered doesn't mean anything!!!! (just that there purebred's but i know mix breeds that hjave been excepted as purebreds because they look like them)
