Spaying A Female Dog

Many people say you should not spay a female dog till she has gone through her first seasonal cycle. If you spay your female dog prior to her first season, you virtually eliminate the chance of her developing breast cancer. You also eliminate the chance of pyometra, ovarian cysts, and unwanted pregnancies by spaying prior to her first season. Spaying or keeping a female dog intact should be up to each owner, not mandated by our local, state, or federal governments.
