Spay Neuter RequirementsAll puppies sold by Rainmaker Ranch Labradoodles,
are spay/neutered prior to leaving our home. We recommend spaying and neutering,
only laser surgery, at 8 weeks and before 4 months. Females
come into heat between 7 and 12 months and you want to spay before
that for the best health of the dog. Males testicles drop between 3
and 9 months and you definitely want to do it before. Typical old
school was 6 months, and that still is acceptable. However, new
research points to laser surgery and early tending to have less
problems and quicker recovery time. Yes, it eliminates all heat
cycle in the female.
We do
have one of the top laser surgeons in the US here in West Palm Beach, Dr
Arun of the Florida Animal Hospital, 561-439-7900. Laser Surgery involves a very small incision,
basically zero recovery time and not a drop of blood. Dr. Arun is
listed in the AKC as a recommended surgeon. Just in case you don't
have enough to think about here are some links on the issue: click for spay
neuter news
Until I was acquainted with Laser surgery and
Dr. Arun, I found it hard to believe that early spay neuter was not
just a way for the breeder to keep others from breeding versus in the
very best interest of the dog, I was wrong.
