| Introduction and Question Hi everyone. I just got a new yorkie puppy and I think he's the cutest thing ever. Here's a picture of "Peanut". He's 11 wks old and we are working on puppy pad training. The question I have is: What is the best age to have him neutered? I know it will be a while but wanted to ask for future reference. I have had several female dogs that were house dogs and all were spayed. I want to have him neutered before he learns to mark things as I don't want to get that started. Thanks, Jan |

| Hi welcome to Yorkietalk Congrats on your new puppy. Peanut is adorable. Yay another Parti Yorkie! As for your question, I believe I read here that it's better to wait until they're at least 6 months or older.

| Your welcome and the being ok'ed by the moderator thing will only last until your first 10 posts, it happens for everyone who is a new member. Then after the 10 posts, it doesn't happen anymore.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | He is just adorable!! Usually, unless the kiddo is extremely tiny -- vets will recommend neutering somewhere around 6mths old or so. I believe I waited until 8mths old on all my kiddos. Ideally, you want to neuter before they start to mark, but neutering isn't always a guarantee against marking.

| I will ask my vet the next time I take him for his shots. He is not tiny. He's a sturdy little fellow. His dad was a 4 pounder but mom is a 7 pounder and I think he will be at least that size. My vet says he prefers them to be a little bigger as they seem to be healthier. My husband did't want a real small one. he said he was afraid he would accidently step on it. |

| Thank you. We think so too!. Took him to the park today with our schnauzer. He walked just fine on a leash with his little harness. I've been putting the harness on him for short periods while playing with him to get him used to it and he is handling really well so far. |
