I completely agree that a lot of dogs are s/n way too soon. Jackson was almost 7 1/2 months old by the time he was neutered; I may have waited a bit longer but luckily, he was pretty much full grown by that point and already 12lbs.
I can often times tell when a dog was neutered really young. I dogsit a boston terrier/beagle mix who was all of 8 weeks when neutered thru rescue and he's very immature still at 1 years old. Hard to explain. But he is. He also is built a little funny, and I think had they waited to neuter him, he wouldn't have such a weird body, it was like he grew in funny. I dunno... this isn't the only time I've witnessed a dog who was fixed before 4 months just... act and look different to me. |
