The incidence of mammary tumours in un-spayed female dogs is 71% (of which approximately 50% will be malignant and 50% will be benign), but if a dog is spayed before its first heat cycle, the risk of developing a mammary tumour is reduced to 0.35%—a 99.5% reduction.
Dogs shown in the conformation ring are not allowed to be either neutered or spayed. It disqualifies them from being shown as they must be intact and unaltered. [citation needed] Female cats and dogs are seven times more likely to develop mammary tumors if they are not spayed before their first heat cycle. [48]

While “doing the deed” doesn’t take long, the success rate is fairly high: experts estimate that as many as 40% of female dogs will become pregnant after just a single mating session. To put ...
Dogs have an overall reported incidence of mammary tumors of 3.4 percent. Dogs spayed before their first heat have 0.5 percent of this risk, and dogs spayed after just one heat cycle have 8 percent of this risk. [1] The tumors are often multiple. The average age of dogs with mammary tumors is ten to eleven years old. [6]

A University of Georgia study, based on the medical records of more than 70,000 animal patients, found that the life expectancy of neutered male dogs was 13.8% longer and that of spayed female ...
