There are breeders that spay/nueter prior to placing pups. Pros and cons on having the surgery performed at such a young age.

I prefer waiting until later, after their growth plates have closed, as to not to interfer with their with their growing pattern and maturity developement. In my opinion 8 weeks a bit too young, not willing to take that chance on a wee one.
