Hmm....I think its a personal decision. I regretted an early decision to fix one of my females, as I got a great chance to let her have puppies. Everyone kept asking me to breed her just once and I know the pups would have all gone to a good home. I have a minature poodle right now that I would fix in an instant if my hubby would shell out the $$$$! I also have 2 females who are in heat right now and the male acts like an idiot! lol I have to keep them separate so we won't have little ones....I'd save on the side if he doesn't change his mind soon!
