Yesterday, I took my 15 week old yorkie in for his 3rd shots. We plan to get him neutered when he is ready since we don't plan to breed him. He is starting to have a little too much fun with his stuffed bear...he is also jumping over the 3 foot baby gate we have up for him when we are at work during the day!

The veterinarian said that getting him neutered now would probably be best since he is expressing dominant behavior. The veterinarian said he is ready to be neutered (he has matured at an early age!) so we are planning to get him neutered in a few weeks when he is 4 months old. Do you think this is too early to neuter a yorkie? Stomper (my yorkie) is already 6 pounds 6 ounces so he is a big boy.

Any advice or suggestions?
