Urgent Quick Question!

Ok, now I am positive you are a troll.

But here is some info in case you are not.

and why exactly is this a quick urgent question? and if you are buying your dog at a wonderful pet store wouldn't they answer questions of that type there?

oh I see on the other urgent thread you have a quick choice between two dogs.
Isn't spaying/neutering the sort of thing you should have researched fairly early on in the "I want a dog" game? You are quick to point out that you aren't an expert (and believe me no one needs the heads up on that) but you don't even seem to have done any real thinking about owning a dog, just about what kid of dog you would want, which is nice and all but usually that is not quite the order people go in.
step one- think about the responsibilities and costs associated with pets
step two- decide you can afford pet and vet bills and learn a bit about what is expected
step 3- decide which breed is best for you

maybe you should wait awhile before putting a dog in a shelter next month...Oh sorry I meant before getting a dog right now

nope i'm getting it originally from a breeder now! it's like fate! lol

I wanted one from a breeder all along but wasnt sure about the cost involved, so now this seems perfect! (I explained it in my other thread)

It's urgent because I will get the puppy within the next few days.

Because that is what a responsible pet owner does!

I read a whole rant from you about how breeders were stupid and you say wanted a breeder dog all along? do you have mutiple personality disorder? you should have yourself checked out, the contradictory posts are becoming rather hard to swallow.

Spayed female dogs dont bleed anymore. Spays and neuters are very simple, very common procedures, and wont change the dogs personality. There are varying opinions as to when it should be done, but the general thought is "not TOO early, but before any mistakes can happen". Most often, you can find programs that will have lower cost spays/neuters, check in your area, ask other pet owners.

Of course, we all know unneutered dogs, but its really not best for the dog, if you arent able to constantly moniter their actions. It essentially means never letting him or her be around other dogs unleashed or without a GREAT recall. There also can be health risks, as stated earlier.

You seem to change your mind (about this an other issues) quickly at the drop of a hat, what are your plans when you see a "better', "nicer", "cuter" dog than the one you wind up with? If your answer is something like find anoter home for it, please rethink getting any animal. Get a plant instead. Or do some volunteer work with animals. You HAVE to be aware of why everyone is a bit upset with you... are you?

Rosie, that's a great, measured response.
