The fanatical showie, 14+, will sometimes spey a female, especially shelties, in secret because Shelties get better coat after speying. It also means of course that they don't come in season and have to be left at home. Other exhibitors are always suspicious when a glamorous top winner is not bred from and is always there in the ring. LOL.
