Obviously neutering and spaying early is the better option, though. Pregnancies are tough on dogs regardless of age. It pains me to see dogs being used as breeding stock.

That's what the Vet said, the surgery that they do is spaying the dog which will in turn, abort the puppies. I understand that part of it. Spaying a dog is the same as giving a woman a hysterectomy and while neautering a male isn't quite the same as a vasectomy, the poor dog loses his entire nuts!
I grew up on a 40 acre horse ranch doing rescue work for the ASPCA and the Humane Society and I've seen a lot of things in the animal world. I'm a HUGE advocate for spaying and neutering pets and it just pisses me off when owners are irresponsible like this.
