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

I know plenty of vets who don't know shit as well... It was a vet that recommended the early snip in the first place, he was wrong too. They study all animals, they aren't experts on all of them.
Vets, for the most part, do know this. These are the same people that kill a tonne of dogs every year even after 24 hours so lets not let that cloud our judgement here ;) Not that I don't understand, there are simply far too many dogs for them to save all of them, but their well being has always been at the convenience of the shelter, so they have them snipped to avoid any more breeding, it is as simple as that.
8 months is pretty close to sexual maturity so you may sneak through without issue.. but I wouldn't risk it personally. I was referring to people who do it sooner than this for the most part.
