This is why we have a clause in our contract that puppies are not to be neutered until 12-18 months at minimum.
While having an entire girl may be inconvenient during heats, it’s absolutely worth it in the long run.

Preventing unwanted litters is a goal we all share—but it's time to rethink the surgical approach. Hysterectomies and vasectomies, which preserve hormonal balance, can safely be performed as early as 8 weeks of age, making dogs sterile without disrupting their natural hormones.

In this study, researchers looked at whether the age at which dogs were spayed or neutered, meaning how long they were exposed to their natural s*x hormones, affected how healthy they were in old age. They studied a group of long-lived pet dogs to learn what helps dogs live longer, healthier lives. Dogs with the fewest age-related health problems were considered the most “robust.”

The results showed that both male and female dogs who kept their hormones longer (i.e., were spayed or neutered later) were 3 to 10 times more likely to be healthy in old age compared to those altered earlier. Once hormone exposure and age were taken into account, there was no difference in old-age health between males and females.

This study highlights how important s*x hormones may be for staying healthy later in life and shows that early-life decisions—like when to spay or neuter—can have long-term effects on health.

Lola (Bluebreeze Rumour Has It) - 3x Best of breed & an intermediate in group at Gunnedah show this weekend. I love this girl and appreciate the judges seeing past her lack of coat since weaning her puppy a few months ago. 💕

Beautiful Hazel (Sunryz Watermelon Moonshine).
2x best of breed this weekend, and endless entertainment with the crate faces as we waited for her classes 😂😝 Thank you Natasha N Peter Murray for running her in the challenges when she clashed with Lola, and also for these beautiful photos.

We had a fun day with Lola and Hazel at the first ever NSW Sprint Dog trial.
Both girls caught on quickly with qualifying runs and their first points toward their title.

Thank you Tash for releasing them both and Pete for the taking the videos. Huge thanks to the team at Newcastle Canine Sprinters for running such a fun day!

After spending the last two weekends showing in the rain and plenty of mud, I thought I best add an update.

We attended Gunnedah show cluster last week, and Hillsborough this past weekend. All dogs performed well (and loved the mud- as goldens do! Lol)

Hazel (Sunryz Watermelon Moonshine) recieved 2 RUBCC and 2 RUBOB at Gunnedah, and a Junior of breed this past weekend.

Lola (Bluebreeze Rumour Has It) took turns with Hazel and picked up 2x RUBCC and a RUBOB, and 4 Intermediate of breed at Gunnedah, plus attended just one show at Hillsborough to win a 9pt BCC, IOB, and RUBOB.

Darling little Maisie (Sunryz More Precious Than Gold- Lolas singleton puppy from the last littler) also made her show debut at 4 months old in the baby puppy class, and made me and her owners proud. She’s a quick learner and enjoys strutting her stuff in the ring. 😍

I don’t have any ring shots as it was miserable weather. But here are a few cute photos of the waiting game in between classes.
