A. Over 60% of deaths in dogs are due to cancer and heart disease. This is because vaccines have become common, significantly reducing deaths from infectious diseases. Older dogs are more likely to develop reproductive and mammary cancers. Spaying/neutering reduces the risk of these cancers. According to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, spaying a female dog before her first heat cycle reduces the chance of developing mammary cancer to 1 in 200, after the first heat cycle to 1 in 12.5, and after the second heat cycle to 1 in 3.8. This reduces the risk of cancer, leading to longer lifespans for spayed/neutered dogs.

A. Puppies spend most of their time sleeping, usually about 14-17 hours a day. If you can cherish the time you spend together, it should be fine.

A. Generally, female puppies are said to be more docile and easier to raise. However, each puppy has its own personality, so it’s not always the case. How you raise them has a bigger impact.

These behaviors can often be prevented by spaying or neutering.
