| I personally like to wait between 7-12 months for small breed males. If they're big markers/leg lifters, you may want to do it sooner, but if not, I like to let their growth plates close and let them some of their natural hormones a bit before removing them. But many choose to neuter at 6 months and do fine.

| I should add - just make sure you are responsible while waiting. Wouldn't do dog parks, etc, just in case. Ya know there are idiots out there who would bring their female in heat to a dog park You don't want any whoopsies.
