Since this has to be done under anesthetic, the vet wanted to do it in one procedure. If I were you, I would ask my vet about this, and see what he recommends.

I haven't heard the theory on sperm counts, but I know that they have to wait until testicles drop, some are doing it very young, but because of the teeth issue, I believe it's best to wait.
She said if teeth were a problem that she would like to wait till he is 6 months but it is ok to take the teeth at 19 weeks which would be about 4 1/2 months. Which I thought was really early so I just wanted to know what the norm was.
