As is true with almost any medical or health issue, there are many opinions about sterilization, from the age it is best to do it, to the risk of health issues when done too late, or too young, to what is the best method. We also have our opinion of sterilization and our contract reflects what we are comfortable with for our puppies as well as for protecting our breeding program and reputation. When you purchase a puppy from us, you will be agreeing to our requirement when you sign the health warranty at the time of purchase of your puppy. If you do not agree with our opinion or have issues with the requirement, then purchasing a puppy from us should not be pursued. We will not discuss altering the contract requirement after you have received your puppy. Our policy has been fully communicated on our website as well as our contract has been available for review at any time. Our puppies are sold as companion pets only. Sterilization surgery is required by the time your puppy is 19 months of age. You will need to provide us proof of sterilization by the 19 month birthdate of your puppy. Proof that is not provided by this date will cause legal action to be taken for the breeding value of the dog and damages to our program and reputation. We sincerely hope this is not something that needs to be pursued as we enjoy our families and want wonderful, ongoing relationships with everyone. You have hopefully thought through our sterilization requirement well before this time. We appreciate you respecting the agreement you enter into with us when you purchase a puppy. We want our puppies to have wonderful lives with their families and if they were not intended to be a breeding dog, then they need to be safe as a sterilized companion dog. So, what sterilization options do you have to consider? Traditional spay or neuter is what the majority of vets practice, however, there are options for you to consider. If you are concerned about the hormonal impact to your dog with traditional spay/neuter, you can opt to have an OSS (ovary sparing spay) performed, or vasectomy. These options may cost more and you will likely need to seek out a vet who is trained in those surgical options. Any of the above are suitable methods of sterilization for meeting the requirements of your agreement with us. Please do your research on the pros and cons of each, as there are pros and cons for all. Thank you!
