I really don't think the schools spay/neuter *that* early, mostly in case some dog is a breeding prospect. I didn't spay Hilde until she was 11 months old.

>> I really liked the boy but, i am afraid he will just be to big. his paws, at 5 months old, are twice the size of my 90 pound german shepherd and, the stance of those dogs is very wide. i was afraid that he wouldn’t even be physically able to lay down on the back seat floor of an uber. lol.
>> she will be spayed next week and come home when she can be taken out of the cone. poor girlie.
>> the breeder thinks that she will be over 525 inches when she grows up and, that’s one big girl dog.
>> so, now it’s time to buy puppy chew stuff and comfortable beds. lol.
