From these results the dogs were consistently neutered in the majority in their early years but the bitches were more spread out with a peak early on then a more even distribution due to ops for pyometra and neutering to prevent pyometras<\/em><\/p><\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n\r\n<\/br>\r\n<\/br>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

261 replies. Main reason people said no was that they were too old to have another and this one would be their last (11 of the 13 gave this as their reason). \r\nOne respondent had had a lot of health issues with their Dandie and wouldn't have another. \r\nOne respondent wasn't sure she could afford another (one of the 'possibly') and one other comment was that they had had a terrible time with their breeder and that would put them off having another.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n\r\n<\/br>\r\n<\/br>\r\n\r\n","alias":"dandie-survey"}]
