Should the pup have a congenial defect that should not be bred down, I would do s/n regardless of what quality it may end up being. (Provided I didn't keep it myself.) Also, if the pup will CLEARLY be to small to EVER be bred, I would do early s/n then too.
Of course, since my dogs are CKC, I really don't have to worry about it from the show aspect.
Wasn't your Hefner already s/n when you got him? What was his breeder's reasoning for doing so?
