I say no. It's better to allow them to stay intact until their growth plates close and they are grown a bit. Allow your puppy the time to grow, and also lose as many baby teeth as he may lose naturally. This way, he can get 3 things done at once and only have to be under anesthesia the one time. (microchip, neuter, teeth pulled) Training can help with the marking, you just have to be deligent. you can discuss with your vet when your pups growth plates are closed. They should be able to tell you when that has happened for your pup. (generally I think it's around 8 months)
