Oh how I know there are 100 + 1 opinions on this but really I can not make up my own. My entire life we've only ever had male dogs so I have never dealt with a heat cycle before. I honestly just want to do what is best for her but it seems so up in the air on what is correct. Medically if you spay too early you can cause incontinence, but if you spay later then the percentage is higher for breast cancer.. ? And then hormone wise is it really true if you spay too early they will just be "all legs" and not reach full potential? I don't exactly like the idea of going through heat cycles but if it helps her mature properly then I would obviously do what is best for her.
Then we just have the issue where my in-laws refuse to neuter their dogs because "never know if we will want to breed" (Australian shepherds) and so the one good playmate she has that is her size (I just have two mini dachshunds that still currently dislike her lol) she is not going to be able to be around because I most certainly do not want the risk of anything happening between them!!
Any who I would just love maybe some personal opinions on what you chose to do for your pet Doberman?
Here's some photos of my little cutie from a couple weeks ago! She's 14 weeks old now!
