There are so many conflicting ideas - do I do it before her first season or after? I have a 3 year old dog already, and I waited until he was 18 months - they are both a wire haired breed, and I was told for my dog that it would affect his coat if I did it too early.
But I want what's best for my dog - its no good her having a lovely wire coat if leaving her un-spayed causes more problems!
The vet also got me thinking when he said that spaying her could cause incontinence when she got older! I know dogs can become incontinent when they age, but to cause it by spaying - well I've never heard of that!!
So before or after her first season?
If you're worried about your pet's health, please speak to a vet or qualified professional.
The doghouse
So when DO I spay my puppy?!!
