As you probably know, cuz I say this a lot (ha), I got Teddy from a Crufts/International show judge and breeder.
Her advice to me was to neuter no earlier than 3 years old which was advice specific to the YT. I did not think to ask why as I was set on neutering him at just over one year and now I do not think I will ever neuter him as the vet even confirmed that there is no real benefit that can be confirmed by science in his opinion. You will have to make your own decision, as a pet owner. I know that if I had a female in my house, or my dog was around other females, he would definitely be neutered. This is socially responsible even if it does not benefit the dog in any way. As it is, he is left intact and marks in my house, currently! Which, to be fair, may or may not have anything to do with neutering. Again, this point is lacking scientific evidence. |
