Is your dog spayed or neutered?

Just curious, not asking for any real reason! I put the max number of times each user can vote as 4 (well, I did, but I don't know if it worked or not!  ??? ), that way, those of you with a multiple dog crew can answer for at least 4 of your dogs.

Oh well, since it didn't work, I guess just answer the question based on one of your dogs...pick one.  :D

Both my dog and cat are.  :) Don't need any accidents or dealing with them going into heat. I think I would go mental.

Both girls here are spayed. I knew I'd get Dolly spayed, but Zoey I was considering not; that it, until we kept having loose dogs get in our yard! That did it for me! They both got spayed the same day at 18 months old.

Bubba and Lola are both going for spay/neuter at the same time this spring. Their appointment is already booked! I figured it would be easier since they would both be recovering at the same time and one wouldn't be pestering the other.

Our new pup will be neutered a year old.

LOL!  I'm sure that my dad would think the same.

Cool!  I hadn't noticed that you have Cody. Are there pics of him somewhere that I missed??  :D  He must be soooo cute!   :-*

Jake and Cody are, they both came through breed rescues and it was done before I got them.  Both cats were returned to their breeders for differing reasons, so they were as well.  Max is not and the good lord willing will never need to be.  I kind of feel sorry for male dogs that are, they just look funny to me.  Jake and Cody, it doesn't bother me that they are, you can't tell with all the fur, but Max would look hilarious.

I couldnt answer the poll,I have Yes and No.

Max our 3 year old is neutered but he was when I got him.

Buddy our 8 year old Cocker is not..but is going to be March 4th,we adopted him at age 4 and he was intack,I am now neutering him now because of dominant issues between him and Bear.

Bear is 3 months and of course is not and not sure if he will be or not when grown,we will wait and see.

Well my vet recommended I didnt get mine spayed until 2 so that way they would have all the time to grow.

 Also the breeder we got Bell from had a contract with us that he got to use her one time with breeding because of her color and bloodline.(suppose to have great hunting bloodline  but all she hunts are flies) ;D

She was a momma about a year ago but is getting spayed March 3

Kana was done before we got him  :( d/t being surrendered to a rescue!  We were upset since he was from many champion lines.  Although, having lived through his "altered" adolescence... I am not sure that one of us would have survived if he wasn't fixed!!
Our last girl, Kita (the Akita) was not altered.  I have to tell you...it was not pretty or productive.  She was too sick (allergies/S.A. and other things)to reproduce but her heat was BRUTAL!
All my other past animals were from shelters and altered before I owned them...

Yes, all 4 of mine are. Tipper was adopted through a shelter at age 2 and was neutered then. Jenny was adopted through a rescue group, she was spayed around age 2-3 yrs. Both of my cats are as well.

Nope. Lily is the only dog and I don't find it very difficult to go through the heat season. From my research I see more complications from spaying than not  :-\
