I will always advocate for spaying and neutering your animals unless you meet very specific criteria.
1. Breeding for the betterment of the breed.
2. Both parents have been health tested and titled.
3. Homes are planned ahead of time before insemination.
4. Owner has the means to provide and a plan in place for all contingencies.
The “cycle” of unwanted pregnancies might never be resolved but why add to it? Shelters are hurting and more and more dogs are put to sleep because they cannot be housed in shelters because of space.
Why bring more puppies into the mix?
Your dog having puppies will only lead to her puppies having puppies when they get to be 4m and older.
