Question for DMV Doug on spayed
I have a 3 month old female Collie pup (Sasha). I have heard that waiting a little longer then 6 months is better for development and others said to do it at 6 months to help prevent health issues. ...

I am NOT Dr. Doug nor did I sleep at a Motel 6 ever.....BUT
Our Vet suggests females have it done before their first 'heat' cycle for best health results....typically 6-7 months old is first heat
Our Vet also will not perform spaying until AFTER pup is at least 3 month old
Males she advises not until at least 3 months old and anytime between 6-9 months although it can be done when older.
I didn't get 'clipped' until I was 42.....LOL
