I remember the first time it happened, I called the vet in a panic thinking it was botched or something and he said that he will still have an urge only nothing will happen. We had him done young.
Anyway, I never knew you could spay or neuter so early but my little Lilly who we got from rescue was given a pediatric spay at the age of 10 - 12 weeks old. The only down side to this is that their baby teeth have not fallen out yet and if they get double teeth then they have to go back under to have them pulled as we found out last month when Lilly had to have hers pulled.

I asked my vet before when we should spay her and she said they can do it earlier for big dogs but because she is so small she would like to wait till 6 months soo she can as big as she can before her first heat--because she wanted to spay her right before her first heat ideally
if she got spayed now, she would barely be 2 pounds! i would be very nervous to do that
but yeah i know they can do it earlier... when you adopt puppies they do it before you can take them home at 8 weeks
