Hi All, I got an interesting call today. The folks wanted to know if my pups had been neutered yet. I was taken aback by that question. Evidently, they had called a "Rescue" group that had two 8 wk old male pups avail. Already neutered. I do know that Animal reg gives out a spay/neuter certificate when they place pups but I have never heard of neutering a pup at such a young age.Is that a common practice? To neuter pups at that age?
