    Just one of the many articles on this topic you can find online:

    Mammary Cancer
    Race Foster, DVM

    Mammary tumors are the most common tumors in female dogs who have not been spayed. Mammary tumors can be small, simple nodules or large, aggressive, metastatic growths. With early detection and prompt treatment, even some of the more serious tumors can be successfully treated. Cats also suffer from mammary tumors and they have their own unique set of problems that are discussed in a separate article.
    Which dogs are at risk for developing mammary tumors?

    Mammary tumors are more common in unspayed, middle-aged female dogs (those between 5 and 10 years of age), although they can, on rare occasions, be found in dogs as young as 2 years. These tumors are rare in dogs that were spayed under 2 years of age. Occasionally, mammary tumors will develop in male dogs and these are usually very aggressive and have a poor prognosis.

    The risk of breast cancer is almost eliminated in dogs that are spayed before their first heat.
    Spaying greatly reduces the chances of a female dog developing this condition. In those females spayed prior to their first heat cycle, breast cancer is very, very rare. The risk of malignant mammary tumors in dogs spayed prior to their first heat is 0.05%. It is 8% for dog spayed after one heat, and 26% in dogs spayed after their second heat.It is believed that the elimination or reduction of certain hormonal factors causes the lowering of incidence of the disease in dogs that have been spayed. These factors would probably be estrogen, progesterone, a similar hormone or possibly a combination of two or more of these

    I never said I wanted to breed her. IF I wanted to breed her I would have made an agreement with somebody to breed her. I can not get her to a place to get her spayed since my vehicle has been broke down and I didn't know the neighbor was going to just let her dog bf's dog out hoping it would run over and 'get' my dog.
    According to what you are saying then I guess she is only having the one puppy and I don't have to worry about her having more cause it has been 24 hrs.

    I reversed my choux's cancer when she was 10 in '97, she was never spayed. That was when the vet told me about them being more prone to cancer it if they are not fixed by 6. She was bad really bad off and I reversed it into remission. I do know how to take care of cancer not that I would want her to get cancer but even the healthiest of us can get diseases. I am quite capable of dealing with keeping them healthy with preventatives. My lab-huskie was never spayed and she lived to 12 and never had any babies or cancer.

    [QUOTE=N0help4u]She is 2 1/2 and I am thinking of her having one liter before I get her spayed.


    Breeding her and letting her have one litter is the same thing.

    I'm glad you have a miracle cure for cancer. Perhaps you could share it with the rest of the world?

    As I said I did not let her have one liter. I was not involved in her getting pregnant.

    I did start to share it on another post here I believe you even replied to the post.

    Most people don't want to hear it though because they believe in the doctors.

    Merricat disagrees: NO help's changing story throughout this thread is a little alarming.

    WHAT DID I change in my story?
