Effects of early spay and neuter.

[Mickey Finn 3,087]

Hi all. Just thought I would bring this topic up for discusion. My mind is already made up. But, would like to hear from others on this topic. In my research, I've found alot of conflicts in reporting. There is a definite, line between population control advocates and working dog advocates. I count myself in the later group.

 

I have some links on the topic to put up. Honestly, anyone can google these for themselves. Most will be from working dog websites. They will reference certain works like Spain et al, and Salmeri et al. Both of these excellent papers. Are the property of the American Vetrinary Medicine association (AVMA) They can be had for a price (vets ).
