1. You will be getting a dog that is physically mature and will not be a disappointment as would a puppy that does not mature properly, especially if you are looking for a show dog. Buying a finished show animal guarantees you of the finest quality. The animal is ready for further showing in your area as a special or in starting your breeding program sooner.

2. No expense of puppy shots and worming. This could add as much as $300 to the cost of your pet. The dog has been on heartworm preventative and is guaranteed heartworm negative.

3. Decreased risk of losing a puppy to disease. Young dogs are susceptible to Parvo, etc., even though shots have been started, causing you to lose your investment. Older dogs have more immunity to diseases that kill.

4. Decreased risk of someone stealing your dog, since puppies are so adorable and will go with anyone. Older dogs are more discerning.

5. No puppy training is required such as getting used to being by themselves or in a crate or manners in general. Most dogs know not to jump on people or children. A minimal amount of training is required to house train for new owner's residence since they are already housebroken by the sellers.

6. All important socialization has been done and the dogs know how to interact with other dogs, people and most environments. They have HAD exposure to most situations and are accustomed to traveling.

7. Dogs are emotionally more mature. Temperament is established and can be guaranteed.

8. Dogs re ready to show, course, or train for obedience. More adaptable to training as they are ready to handle the training.

9. SPAYED BITCH: Spaying helps prevent: breast cancer, cystic endometrial hyperplasia and pyometria, false pregnancies, mastitis, can occur with false pregnancies, transmissable venereal sarcoma, ovarian and uterine tumors, cystic ovaries and hyperestrogenism, chronic endometritis, vaginal hyperplasia and prolapse, uterine torsion or uterine prolapse. No messy seasons, no male dogs hanging around, no accidental litters. And it could add years to the life of your pet!

10. NEUTERED MALE: Neutering helps prevent: testicular cancer, benign prostrate hyperplasia, acute and chronic Wprostratis, prostratic abscess, perianal gland adenomas (multiple tumors around the anal opening), orchitis (infection of the testicles), perineal hernia (abdominal organs bulging out of the rectum), venereal tumors, inguinal hernia with potential organ strangulation. NO fighting or running away from home to chase the intact bitches, no marking of territory—if neutered early—or reduced marking of territory if neutered later in life, and it makes the dog easier to live with. The dog is more interested in the owner and not other dogs.

11. Giving a retirement home to a much deserving show dog has great rewards of its own. You know you are getting a top quality animal that will fill your life with joy for the remaining years of its life, with the assurance that the dog had the best quality care
Advantages of Spaying/Neutering Your Dog

1) Absolute birth control
2) Relief from the following hormone-driven urges (most effective when done prior to puberty): aggression (mostly male to male), territorialism (overprotection of the home ground), wanderlust, dominance, overt sexual behavior such as riding, sniffing, mounting, licking and arousal, frustration that occurs when hormones urge the dog to do what its owners do not want it to do.
