| Neutering I was just wondering what age is a good age for my puppy to get neutered. I just took Huey to the Vet for his last puppy shot and they had me schedule him to be neutered. He will be 5 and 1/2 months at the end of the month when he will be neutered. Does anyone have any opinions on this? I am wondering if he is old enough. |

| Yes, that's about right. They like to spay/neuter, I think, between 4.5 to 6 months. He's not too young. It's better to do it while they are young, I believe...

| It helped with mine because he never started doing it. Breeders on here always say it helps keep them from marking.

| Well, I've read that if they are neutered before they start hiking their leg, then they aren't supposed to ever hike their leg. However, I'm sure there are exceptions in this case, too.

| 4-6 months is when our vet will take them, Not sure about the hiking, I think it depends on the pup.
