Glad you posted this topic as I was unaware but will def be looking into it when we're ready to spay penny. Sounds like what I'd want to do. Even if no one does it locally there is a large university with a veterinary hospital close enough that I'm sure does it. I tried finding an alternative to the traditional castration but didn't come across anything that fit our expectations. This OVE spay sounds much better physically as far as surgery goes for the bitch.
 
So a side note. I was talking my boyf about this and his response "are you sure you want to do that?".
Me: what? Leave her uterus?
Him; no, spay. Are you sure you don't want to breed her. Everyone at work is surprised you don't want to breed her.
Me: why does everyone think they need to breed their dogs? (seeing as I know he won't allow a third dog in our home I followed with) what if someone takes one and wants to give it back? Are you okay with that? You can't tell them to take it to the shelter. What if it bit someone or has health issues like Dozer (who's fixed)?
Him: yea, I guess not.
Me: why don't people think of these things? Not everyone needs to breed their dog.
Him: ok, I was jut asking.

Ok. I just had to vent bec weekly my fried tells me they're going to breed their coonhounds and I just don't see why.
