| Re: Appropriate Age/Time To Neuter
as a thought, i'm sure there's any number of owner's on the list like me, with a rescue/spca dog. now, as a general rule (may differ by area) these dogs can not go home until they are spayed/castrated.
so, with no input from me, Oz was a catrati at an unknown age. (we're guessing he's just past 1 year, from his size, proportions and behaviour - he could be as young as 10-11 months, as old as 15, no real way to tell...)
besides, anyone who is not a breeder/shower has no reason to not alter their dogs, IM(ns)HO. really, if you're not showing in a field that requires you to be intact, and aren't holding on for breeding, then the responsible act is for you to alter your animal. at 6 months or 1.5 years, makes no major difference - i'd rather see a six month old altered than a 1 year old as a sire/dam....
could just me me though...
peace, eh?
