[pyrnet] Puppy food.

[CLM <vol@jax.org>]

Dear List Members,

	Thank you for replying to Jenn's questions.  I too have a new 
puppy and asked the same questions.  I did not get any response.  I 
probably didn't post correctly.  It will be interesting to see if 
this one makes it.
	My puppy is fed Nutro Large Puppy and is growing and eating 
well.  She spends a lot of time trying to get to the three cats' 
Science Diet though.
	Some of my other questions were:
	When do you spay or neuter a puppy?  In olden days it was 
thought they should be at least 6 months.  My vet says 12 to 16 weeks 
is better for the long life of the dog.
	This same vet wants to remove the dew claws.  It is not my 
intention to show my puppy, but I do want her to be a good example of 
her breed.  What is your advice.
	Thank you.
