WRT spaying, I've lost count of the people, including vets, that have said spaying is fine on any pup over 3 months.

The best article I've found on the subject is here. The conclusion: "For female dogs, the high incidence and high percentage of malignancy of mammary neoplasia, and the significant effect of spaying on decreasing its incidence make ovariohysterectomy prior to the first heat the best recommendation for non-breeding animals. The demonstrated increased incidence of urinary incontinence in ****es spayed before 3 months of age and possible effect of CCL injury in ****es spayed before 6 months of age suggest that spaying ****es after 6 months of age but before their first heat is most beneficial. For ****es of breeds predisposed by ovariohysterectomy to highly malignant tumors and for breeding animals, spaying at a later age may be more beneficial."

Hope I don't get hurt to much this w/end. Been too busy delivery puppies to worry about my port. {nm} grammar Oct 26, 09:26
