Not until 7 to 8 months of age. If they are particularly small, I hold them until both my Vet and I deem it can be done. Baby teeth are removed at the same time as the adult teeth are erupted fairly good by then.
As I said before, if I sell something that isn't spayed/neutered, contracts are involved AND the new owner is carefully screened before I sell. I will often arrange the appt with my Vet or one in their area unless they have one they use and I also will tell them if this is good for a toy dog or not.
If I am unsure if a home will spay/neuter and the pup is still under 6 months old, I don't sell it but will hold it until the spay/neuter is done.
I have just placed a couple of pups this year in good pet homes, spayed, baby teeth removed, and the new owners are having a great time with them and are glad they don't have to worry about spay and recovery.
One is doing some obedience right now.
