| Spay What do you consider a good age to spay or neuter your yorkie? Max was born in the beginning of February and I made an appt. for him next week. I have always gotten rescue dogs so they have always been fixed before I have gotten them.... I want to catch him before he starts marking things but is 18 weeks to early? |

| My little Zoe is just 10 weeks but I would love to know the same thing. I thought I read online that the breeder where we got Zoe offers neutering for males before they are sent home as babies. |

| I do not feel that in is in the best interest of the dog or bitch to have them neutered at too young an age. Here is an interesting article that explains the pros and cons of neutering. http://www.naiaonline.org/pdfs/LongT...uterInDogs.pdf |

| I believe in waiting until 6 months.
