^ Wrong, once again. And we have spayed and neutered at 8 weeks and 20+ years later, the ill-effects are yet to be seen or documented. If your vet renders your dog incontinent through a poorly executed spay, you have chosen an incompetent vet, and it's got not a thing to do with the age of the animal. Most 'accredited' organizations are in cahoots with AKC, which FULLY SUPPORTS Amish puppy mills. A fact which is indisputable, and google-able.
