| I had Amy done at 5 months old and she did just fine. I am sure a lot will have different thoughts as to when to have it done. |

| Does it matter how big they are? I think he's pretty standard size but he still looks like a girl, lol |

YT 500 Club Member | I've had two little boys. Both vets wanted me to wait until they were 6 months old. I really couldn't wait either because they were madly in love with anything and everything on their level. LOL! |

| My Vet gave me several reports about spay and neuter. The reports state there are many advantages to waiting on this until the dog has reached sexual maturity and the bone growth plates are finished growing. Most Yorkies are finished growing around one year of age. Many others on Yorkie talk have been given the same advice by their Vet.

Max was neutered at 6 months and Teddy at 7 months. I believe even a month made a difference and wish I had waited a bit with Max.
