I have been tormenting myself, going back and forth over the decision to neuter my male yorkie. He is 7 months old and 7 lbs. I have an appointment for Monday and am considering cancelling because I heard that I should wait until his growth plates close. Does anyone know at what age the male yorkie's growth plates close. I take him on hikes and long walks and would hate for him to have an injury because I neutered him. Also, did anyone leave their male yorkie in tact and what type of behavioral problems did you see.

Please help me - I need to make a decision this weekend to keep my appointment or not!!
