Sophie always had a brilliant smile, she was a vivacious yellow girl.

Jayden was a precious link to Jasmine, the sister of my foundation girl Jaysin. She had many talents, including opening the refrigerator door.

A photo of 2 male Labrador littermates.
The one on the left was neutered at a young age. The other was left intact.
You can see the huge differences in their structure - muscle strength, depth of bone, height, weight, amount of coat and the appearance of their heads. All of these things are affected by hormones.

There are many things to consider about the appropriate age to spay or neuter your dog. While many vets recommend spaying / neutering at 6 months old this is not based on health but on population control.

I recommend waiting until the dog is two years old. There are a number of reasons for this.
Their growth plates have closed and they have reached full physical maturity.
Some of the main reasons are the decreased risk of orthopedic dysplasia and cruciate ligament tears and post spay/neuter incontinence .
In addition, the greater decrease and risk of the big three cancers - Osteosarcoma, Hemangiosarcoma Lymphoma and even Mast Cell tumors. There are other option to eliminating the risk of accidental breeding , such as a Vasectomy for males and an O***y Sparing Spay for females . These retain their hormones , and can be done at any age.
Here are some great studies and articles that explain this more thoroughly.

Today, when a client asks when they should spay or neuter their dog, my r...
