Spay and Neuter
Every dog that will not be used to "improve the breed" should be spayed or neutered. Female dogs are “spayed”; Male dogs are "neutered." Females should be spayed to prevent unwanted pregnancies, overpopulation of pets, and to afford protection against developing breast cancer. A female dog that is spayed before her first heat has a 0.5 risk of developing breast tumors compared to an unspayed dog whose chances of getting breast cancer increase to 26%!
Besides avoiding unwanted pups, the benefits of neutering dogs include: decreased roaming, decreased fighting, and reducing risks of prostatic disease and testicular cancer.
