We got Hobbs neutered when he was 5.5 months old. We got him neutered right when he started humping stuff. Since we got him neutered, he hasn't humped a single thing and he hasn't shown us his "lipstick." At 9 months old, he also still squats to go to the bathroom...he has never lifted his leg to pee pee. I would recommend doing it ASAP to avoid humping, showing lipstick, etc. Also, if you don't want him to be a humper, I would not buy him any stuffed animals. If he doesn't have anything to hump (such as a stuffed animal) then he will be less likely to be a "humper." If you are able, I would get him neutered no later than when he is 6 months old, if humping, lifting leg to pee, and showing lipstick matter to you. If that kind of stuff doesn't bother you, then you can wait until he is older. I have noticed that Hobbs has calmed down a lot and he is much sweeter now that he is neutered. |
