Gotlands- You said that it is better to spay them later, I have never heard of this. How much later in life are you talking about? 

Thanks everyone for all of the information, it will be several years before I get one but it is nice to be educated about them before hand. 

Also, was reading a website by a local breeder and she states that she was weaning the puppies at five and six weeks old. Is this normal for larger dogs?
