Would you do it or is it unethical/wrong/detrimental to the breed? Would you continue to train the dog or seek another prospect?

I have had a dog with severe food and environmental allergies. It IS heritable. I let her go through a heat, then spayed her. She was a wonderful performance dog. I wouldn't wish a dog with severe allergies on anyone...it's frustrating and until you figure out how to manage it...can be miserable for the dog.
