Ok so I know I'm probably opining up a can of worms by posting this but I just wanted people opinions or maybe even experiences on when they plan to or have gotten there dog neutered.
Reason why I bring this up is because in August my husband and I got Dexter. Now before we got together I already had 2 dogs, Booker was fixed when i got him and Dixon got fixed as soon as the vets said it was ok (early age, I think before 6 months), but when i got Dexter i did a little more research and found it was best to wait at least a year due to hormones helping with his growth.
Hes almost a year old now, and I'm in no hurry to go by a deadline and get him fixed, I plan to, even called and asked vets for pricing, I just want to do it at a good time for him and his growth. Hes half German shepherd half Pitt, and at almost a year hes already 75 pounds.
Now we live in the country, no neighbors, hardly any traffic, all of my other animals are fixed and hes never outside alone and I only have to use a leash with him sometimes because hes got a rather solid recall for his age. I only added that because I'm sure people were going to be worried about unwanted litters of puppies or home roaming.
So, with that being said and the can of worms opened let's hear your opinions ?
