What are you thoughts on spaying and neutering?
A.Spaying your female puppy before her first estrus cycle is the best way to increase your Scotties’ chances of a healthy, happy, long life. The “heat” cycle of a female dog is very messy and unwanted pregnancies with the neighbors mixed breed male can happen in an instant. Spaying also reduces the risk of breast cancer and totally eliminates the chance of uterine and ovarian cancers. Neutering your male puppy early in his life makes him less aggressive toward other dogs and keeps him closer to home. Neutered males are also less likely to “mark”. It can also prevent prostate problems later in life and eliminates testicular cancer.
