		<description>I had our Frenchie neutered quite early on, because I didn&#039;t want him to &quot;find his feet&quot; so to speak. It has not done him any harm, he is a lovely well behave boy. I don&#039;t know if it calmed him down at all really, because he was young any way.
If I know 100% that I am not going to breed a dog I would always opt for the op

		<description>I am certainly not a vet, but have had many dogs growing up and as an adult, and i have never heard to not get a dog spayed or neutered.  My vet recommended getting my Frenchie spayed at 6 months.  If you don&#039;t intend on breeding her, definitely get it done.  I have a friend who had a boxer that she never spayed, at 7 years old, she started to hemmorrage, and the vet thought this was because she was never spayed - not my vet, not my dog, this is just what i was told.  Her dog ended up having to be put down. Talk to another vet and get a second opinion if you are concerned that you aren&#039;t getting the best advice.</description>

		<description>Hi, I need some advice...
I have a 9 month old female Frenchie.  I&#039;m not sure when to have her spayed.  Some say after her first heat, others say not to at all and keep her &quot;male&quot; free during those times.  I don&#039;t want to breed her.  But I&#039;m concerned with the risk of surgery.

Does anyone have experience in this matter to share?  I really need some good tested advice.

Thanks</description>
