From 6 months to 2 years, depending on breed, what you are going to do with the dog, and your ability to handle an intact dog. So, for 99% of dog owners, 6 months.
You should have them neutered at the earliest possible age in order to prevent any aggressive male traits to arise in his behavior. Dogs can be neutered any time after 8 weeks, but should be neutered BEFORE 6 months because that is when they hit puberty and the dominant male traits will start to form.I would have neutered the dog a while ago, but it's not too late! Go make an appointment with your vet ASAP!
Some people say six months, some people say one year. If you've got your heart set on neutering him, then I would wait a year: it has allowed him to develop normally.And no, un-neutered males don't mark in the house, roam, or start fights.
You should wait until your dod has lost the baby teeth about 6 to 9 months When you neuter them it changes their estrogen so wait till the baby teeth are out and then get it done be careful to watch is it comes into heat before that it is not near any other dog,Thank god you are going to neuter there are enough dogs out there to be adoptedbest to you and your new puppy
