If I ever have a puppy, I'd fix them 8-10 months, 12 months the latest to make sure they can have retained puppy teeth extracted, neuter, microchip put it, and make sure they keep their hormones long enough to help with their development.

This is what I recommend to all my new parents....8-10 months old.
