<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>An acquaintance of mine just got a little buppy! I went over to
meet her -- sweet as anything (of course), but anxious and skittish, even after
having been in her new home for over a week. Then my friend mentioned that
the breeder had her spayed at 10 weeks. I've never heard of spaying a
puppy so early. Could that make her more skittish? (She's 12 weeks
now.) This is supposedly a reputable breeder, who charged $2500 for the
puppy. Maybe it's just her personality, I'm so used to mellow, laid-back
slugs.<BR></FONT></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
