Thank you Debbie for the links that provided the actual medical pros and cons.

I don't think I would be comfortable having a puppy spayed/neutered before 6 months.

I was one of those people until about 15 years ago, even though growing up we had a crate for our dog. I had some kind of "puppy in the cage" syndrome-go figure! Now, I wouldn't dream of not having a crate for my corgi to have as his very own special place.

Dew claws are not "pulled". They are removed, cut off. And yes, if you don't get it all it can grow back. I have dew claws on my puppies removed when I have their tails docked.
I also thought they were "pulled." Thanks for setting us straight on that. Can the dew claws be taken out when the dog is under for a different procedure or should they just be left in once they are an adult?
