When to spay/neuter: Generally this should be done when the puppy has reached at 5-6 months for a female and 6-8 months for a male. The older the dog, the more able it will be to withstand the anesthesia. There is no need to wait for a female to have her first heat cycle before she is spayed. In fact, you can avoid the problems associated with estrus by spaying her before it occurs. There is also no need to wait for the male to become sexually mature, though seller has explained the benefits of allowing a male to mature to 8-9 months of age.

Why spay/neuter: Fixing your dog prevents pregnancy and the birth of unwanted puppies. It avoids the need to restrain the dog during estrus. It keeps both sexes from roaming away from your house in search of a mate. It reduces the tendency of male dogs to urinate in the house, marking his territory.  Licensing fees are also cheaper in most states.  Additionally, it avoids reproductive-related problems such as tumors, pyometra, false pregnancy, prostate infections, and old-age cancers.

Why should this dog be spayed/neutered? Any puppy sold as a pet should not be bred. This is simply for the improvement and maintenance of the Rainbow Hollow line of Dachshunds. Breeders have striven for years to select and perfect the working ability and manageability (temperament) of this line. They are bred not only for their manageable energy levels, but their responsiveness and intelligence. Dogs are eligible for a breeding program only if they are able to reproduce either their own quality or better quality in each successive generation. Breeding is not to be done casually nor is it to be done with a Rainbow Hollow Dachshud without written consent from RAINBOW HOLLOW (Debbie Midlar).  It is very time consuming and energy demanding. By demanding that this puppy be neutered/spayed, it avoids mass-production of average quality Dachshunds, controls the already overblown dog population, and improves the overall fitness of this specific line.

This does not mean that this puppy is an inferior dog. This puppy is as capable as any of its littermates of becoming a lovable, well-trained, and perfectly happy dog. This puppy has been tested for its temperament and evaluated for buyer placement by the administration of a Puppy Aptitude Test (PAT). This puppy's test results have simply indicated that it is well suited for pet placement. Working instinct is vital for breeding lines but not for household pets. This does not mean that this puppy will not be able to hunt. At this early age it is very difficult to predict with certainty the potential working ability of any pup. Given the proper amount of love and attention, nothing should prevent this puppy from becoming an excellent companion and family member.
