What's wrong with 4 months? 12-16 weeks is the age most reputable breeders let their babies go, depending on size and how the pup is doing. At 4 months, the puppy has most likely had all vaccinations and should have decent bladder control...and many vets will spay and neuter at this age (and even earlier). Also at 16 weeks, you can have a bile acid test done on the puppy to check for liver shunt
