I'm conflicted about when to spay my puppy. The breeder wants us to wait until she's 2. If we spay her before then it voids her hip displayia warranty. She sent me quite a few papers that say spaying before the puppy is fully grown affects their growth rate and makes them more likely to have orthapedic issues. On the other hand going through a few heat cycles greatly increases her chances of mammary tumors and breast cancer. I've been through the cancer experience with my last dog, and it was heartbreaking, I would like to avoid that if possible. At what age have most of you spayed your dogs?
