Neutering...

[dab_20]

What age do you think I should nueter Sammy, my cocker spaniel? He will be 5 months on the 14th.

If it were me, I'd have him neutered asap.

I agree with wolf_Q, it might be easier on Sammy while he is still very young.

[MyLittleMutt]

I agree with what is posted above. I would get him fixed soon as you can.

Bubba was 4 months old and had no problem.

Some rescues neuter/spay 6 week old pups. Molly is approx. 4 months right now but the pound director scheduled her spaying 2 months from now. No idea why. If it were up to me, I would have scheduled it ASAP.

Micki was neutered at about 6 months and Jack was neutered around 2 months.

my boys were neutered at 8 months and i really wish we could have neutered them earlier at like 6 months but we didnt have the money

yeah I got t.j neutered at 1 years old and I really wish I got him neutered at 5 months I had so much behavior problems with him.

ASAP! Roscoe wasn't neutered until he was a little over 3 years, and we have had many behavioral problems with him. Our trainer thinks that a lot of it has to do with the age he was neutered at.

I'll most likely be getting Kaige neutered next month, he'll be about 7.5-8 months old then.
I usually reccomend neutering at about 6 months, but for an experienced owner I prefer they wait until they are at least 6 months. I just personally beieve that it has to affect their health slightly. I personally like to wait until the dog is full grown BUT I work with him EVERYDAY ALLDAY, he goes to work with me even, we are constantly socializing & training. If I couldn't work with him so much to keep the associated behaviors at bay you'd be sure that I would neuter by the time they are 6 months of age.

The bigger the breed the longer I like to wait.

If you can't devote a LOT of your time AND aren't experienced with training AND aren't active in obedience classes I suggest you neuter him no later than 6 months of age.

I also forgot to add that if you do decide to wait you also have to make sure you keep your dog under complete control, NEVER allow them out of your site or off a lead either.

If it were me, I'd have him neutered asap.

ditto.

5 months is a good age for a cocker pup to get neutered.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I agree, the sooner the better.
