But I'm not sure on these little guys. My vet says Rhett is ready and we could do it before he turns 6 months (he's 17 weeks now). His testes are down and he is a gordo in the weight department (5.9 lbs today!)

The topic came up today because I asked about microchipping him and she prefers to do both at the same time to minimize pain to the little guys.

So my question is: When did you neuter your males and why at that age?

TIA.

Buzz is getting nuetured @ 18 months, unless the last canine tooth doesn't come out by 12 months, then he will be neutured then...I made my decision, based on all the pros and cons...There's no way he will have an opportunity to breed, so unwanted puppies are not an issue...However, WOW, what sweet dispositions they would have lol...
