Btw, my dog lived to be 18 yrs old. No cancer of any kind.

I got my spade right at 6 months old. It actually stunt her growth, she didn't grow much bigger and looked like a puppy well into her years. Was actually pretty cool to have a full grown dog that knew tons of tricks and commands that still looked like a pup.
Mine got a liver tumor and died at 15 1/2 yr old about 2 months after learning of the tumor. So on the 1 hand she did get cancer, but on the other hand 15 1/2 is longer than most live anyways. So my guess the cancer had more to do with age than getting her spade too young.
