Just got a Yorkie and have a question... So my family just got a 10 and a half month old male and for the first day it played with our other dog (a 10 year old yellow lab female) great. Then yesterday afternoon all of a sudden, literally within the span of a few minutes, he discovered that he has the ability to hump her. Now all he does is go at it. It is comical of course since all he humps is air since she is so tall, but i had a question whether or not we can get him neutered yet. I have heard conflicting accounts that you should wait a year for developmental reasons, and I have heard that as soon as they are sexually mature (as of yesterday at 3pm) that it is ok as well. Obviously there are some pretty informed posters on this site so I thought that I would ask for some advice. Is 10 months too early to get neutered and if not, will this end his nonstop lebido? thanks |
Welcome to YT. You can get him neutered. He is definitely old enough. Good luck. |
If I had a male, he'd be neutered between 12 and 16 weeks. Most people neuter by at least 6 months so he's definitely old enough |
Welcome to YorkieTalk! :D |
Thanks for the advice! the ways it sounds from reading some other threads, it will be a toss up whether or not this will "cure" him. hopefully it will. |

Hello and warm welcome to YT! I strongly suggest to het him neutered! |
I had my little boy neutered at 8 months. I was told by the breeder to wait till a year too, but he lives with my female Skye Terriers & was already showing an interest in them. I decided to get him done before they came back into season as there's no way I wanted cross breed puppies from my rare breed Skyes :rolleyes: He's been fine. He did still try to hump them, but less so once the hormones had subsided after 8 weeks. Five months later, he still plays humping, mostly with my Yorkie bitches, but they do it to him mostly ;) He gets fed up & takes himself off to bed :D |
Mascot Hi there, welcome to YT, I am also in NC (Aberdeen).... just wanted to say hello.:D |
just wanted to welcome you to yt:) |
Welcome to YT! I would get him neutered. That will calm him, but still may hump sometimes. |
Yup he is old enough... I wouldn't allow him to do this by the way... I would tell him no. I have a male and a female. He's neutered andMy female is getting spayed on the 12th:( Welcome to YT! |
Just want to say welcome to YT! |
