 Too late to neuter?  Our puppy is over 6 months, born on June 15th.  I understand we should have neutered him by 6 months.  He already is sexually active (with a stuffed animal) and I am wondering if neutering him now could have a negative affect on his psyche.  Your opinions would be appreciated.   |  
 
 No, it's not too late to neuter him as far as I know.  He is actually a good age.  He should have his permenant teeth by now.  Vets like to be able to pull any remaining baby teeth while they are under, so they don't have to put them under a second time to remove baby teeth that didn't come out on their own.  Some are neutered later than that & they are fine.   |  
 
 do it asap. i waited until 6 years old. too much testosterone gave my lil guy a tumor.   |  
 
 No, it is not too late and I believe that you should still have the procedure done.  I know many people who have decided to wait even longer.  Personally, I am getting my Jimi neutered at 7 months (in a few weeks) because I wanted to make sure he lost all of his baby teeth and did not need to get any pulled.  (It is best to get retained baby teeth pulled at the same time they are being neutered, so the dog does not have to go under again).   |  
 
 Definitely still have him neutered. Just an FYI, humping is not usually a sign of "sexual activity," it is a sign of dominance.   |
