View Online We want your thoughts on Genetic Diversity! → You're Invited to Join Us! Hi Dedicated Breeder, please join us for our July Breeder Webinar: What Happens When the Gonads are Gone? Long-term adverse health consequences following spaying neutering Wednesday, July 16, 2025 7-8:00 PM ET Have you wondered why some dogs gain weight, become incontinent, have skin problems, or develop behavioral changes after they are spayed or neutered? Dr. Michelle Kutzler will explain how the loss of gonadal hormones (estrogen, testosterone) causes an overproduction of other hormones (luteinizing hormone, LH) and how persistently high LH in circulation can cause metabolic, endocrine, urinary, orthopedic, behavioral problems and possibly some cancers. Finally, Dr. Kutzler will explain some alternatives to traditional spaying/neutering for breeders to share with puppy buyers. Join us for only $19! SAVE YOUR SPOT » Can't join us live? Don't worry!
