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.

She gonna be a busy first time mom. Confirmed via ultrasound, Evie (CH Legend's Garden Of Avalon) is very pregnant with 6-8. He actually said there could be more, which I hope not 😂 They are seriously stacked up on both sides. We quit counting at 7 and didn't know if we got some twice. Yes she is the one I groomed like a Kerry.

I have to share this adorable photo of Grimm in his new home. Along with the best compliment from a vet I have ever gotten. I run into so many anti-breeder vets who will do whatever they can to find the smallest thing wrong with a puppy or because they came from NE, we must be a puppy mill 🙄. This made my day. We pour out heart and souls into our puppies and a whole lot of money we never make back!!!!
