I just brought home a new Yorkie. I bought him from a reputable breeder who has been in business for forty years. The street she lives on is Yorkie Lane! She shows dogs, as well. Anyway, this boy is a retired champion. He is five years old and is not neutered. The reason they retired him is because he was shooting blanks. Anyway, we are all getting acquainted and he is a little nervous. I want to get him neutered because I know it will be better for his overall health. We just lost our other Yorkie, Milo. He was a great big boy at 20 Pds. This boy is 7 pounds and we are nervous of his small size. We loved our Milo with all our hearts and this new fella came to us rather quickly after his passing. It was an opportunity we couldn't pass up. Anyway, do any of you have experience neutering older dogs? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
