My friend is fostering this sweet 4 month old little girl. She is so cute. Just thought I would see if any of you are looking to adopt a puppy. 

She also has this almost 1 year old male that she is fostering as well. These two are siblings but from different litters. She rescued them from the same irresponsible backyard breeder. Both are so sweet. If you are in the New York tri-state area and are interested or know someone who may be interested let me know. She has a few other dogs as well. Thanks. 

Very cute, I’m sure they will find their forever homes soon.

I know this is a very hard time for you and your family. I went through it with my cat Tristan last year. So hard. I got Lukin about 3 months later because I thought Daisy was getting lonely. But everyone has their own time frame. Hopefully, these pups will find homes soon. But my friend is always rescuing dogs, so when your time is right, let me know.

How old were your dogs when you got them spayed/neutered? We've always had females and always had them spayed prior to their first heat. But I have seen that nowadays people are waiting 12-18 months? Seems like there's a decent argument on both sides. 

Just wanted to find out what you guys did. Thanks.

first three (females) before their first heat. last one, winnie, is a show dog and for some reason the breeder handler wanted us to wait until after her first heat (winnie’s, not the breeder’s). I think it was more of a show thing than a health thing.

Thanks. It seems the benefit with doing it sooner is to prevent certain cancers down the road and the benefit for waiting after the first or second heat has something to do with not stunting their growth or something and lessens the chances of torn acl's and stuff? Does that sound familiar?

How was it when she was in heat? Blood everywhere?

from my wife, the expert: she says vets recommended before, for health, and breeders say after, due to growth plates.

the heat wasn’t a big deal….lasts about 3 weeks, one of which winnie was gone to a show with the breeder….we got her (winnie, not the breeder) some depends.

We had planned on getting Pumpkin spayed before her first heat, she however, had other plans and went in to heat at seven months.

These were a lifesaver.  Highly recommend so that you don’t risk getting your furniture/ floors /carpets ruined.Machine wash/dry. We would rotate so she always had a clean one.  

We also had a washable pee-pad for her bed so that she didn’t have to wear a diaper at night when her flow lightened.  We got the pee pad at a home health store (for humans). Way cheaper (long-term) than disposable.

Make sure you get the ones with an outer Velcro patch.  It gives you a better fit.

Thanks man. She is scheduled for basically a month from now right around when she will be 9 months. Might as well look into these now to be safe. Appreciate it!

Pumpkin was scheduled for spay first week of January.  She started her heat the week before Xmas and lasted for four, almost five weeks. We had to wait until the last week of March to get her fixed. It was very stressful having her around in-fixed male dogs during that period lol
