I am amazed sometimes how words can be put into other's mouths. Whenever did I say that a pet does not deserve the same considerations as a non pet? I don't know where that is coming from? This is incredibly hurtful. I have spent my entire life being an advocate for the pet dog. I've worked in animal shelters & have watched unwanted animals go to their deaths. I never said this bitch's owner was incapable, I plainly stated I did not blame him or the caretakers. I find that if this is a new trend toward waiting till bitches are 24 months to neuter, that there is going to be a rise in unwanted litters. The average pet owner is not as aware or understanding of the necessary steps to take with an intact dog. And isn't there something to be said about the more indepth the surgery becomes once they have had cycles?

I am very glad all will be fine with the bitch in question. I also agree to the immediate spay.
