I have an almost 7-month Labrador who has just gone into season. I've read quite a bit about the advantages and disadvantages of spaying earlier/later, and am veering towards spaying in 3 months (i.e. between first and second seasons), but would like to hear your views on this. I'm trying to maximise the benefits of early(ish) spaying for decreasing the risk of mammary tumours while at the same time allowing her to mature a bit so as not to detrimentally affect growth, etc.
Also, I don't think I can keep her in for 3 weeks so am planning to take her out at times in the day/night when there will be fewer dogs about, and to keep her on the lead. Is this feasible do you think?
