Have she gotten her championship? Is she an outstanding specimen of the breed standard? Is her temperament without flaw? Have her eyes, joints, respiratory system been checked for genetic problems? Is she without food or environmental allergies? Is her pedigree exceptional? Do you have potential homes found for numerous pups, with a commitment for their lifetimes to check up on them often and reclaim them if they are not properly cared for? If you do not have homes found, are you prepared to keep the entire litter yourself rather than settle for homes that are less than satisfactory?
If you answer no to any of the above questions, SPAY!
