We tell our puppy people 12-14 months of age for s/n. Barb Hively - PA DNA. It's what makes a white, a German Shepherd -----Original Message----- From: Kathy Partch <jokaysedona@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wed, Dec 26, 2012 8:40 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Spay/neuter question My friends have a four month old Standard poodle & want to neuter him immediately before he creates bad habits. I told them that it was way to early & let him grow, etc. I've had other breeders tell me that they don't like to spay or neuter until at least 18 months of age or so. When do you think it's okay to neuter this guy? I was trying to find a good web site on the health aspects of this but lost the one I kept a long time ago. There's so many opinions on this subject & I want to give my friends the correct one.
