Spaying your female is very important. Typically, you would want to spay your females, if they are small, at around 6 months of age. Now if it is a larger breed, you would probably want to wait until 2 years, until they are fully matured enough to become fixed. Spaying is an important procedure in a female's life. Do you know that if a female isn't spayed, when she becomes older, she is higher in risk for getting mammary tumors? Also, if a female isn't spayed, she could become accessible to having an infection in her uterus, otherwise known as pyometra. Pyometra is a very dangerous condition, and the only way to cure it is to remove the uterus entirely.
Neutering your male has a drastic impact upon him. When you neuter your male, he actually becomes calmer because he has a lessening of hormones in his system. If you leave your male intact, he can become susceptible to prostate cancer. Also, did you know that if you don't castrate your male, he can be cryptorchid? Cryptorchidism is where only one testicle will descend and the other one will either remain in the abdomen or inside the inguinal area. If you don't neuter your cryptorchid male, he can get what is known as testicular cancer.
