in rescue centres neutring is done as soon as possible i believe castrastion can be done as soon as testicles have descended at 6mnths or so , i think its better to castrate before hormones kick in and some problems arise, i have 3 terriers i tell them off if they squable just so they no whos boss all mine are bitches i had a lab also till last year training helps dogs confidence take them separatly it wil take time! the work you do now will help them the rest of there life

i have a 4mth old choc lab..who keeps mounting my boxweiller all the time...he has had her in every position imagable...except the right one lol...i asked my vet last week and he suggested from the age of 6mths is the time to have a male castrated...im hoping to get mine dun asap..he has alot of aggression in the fact he wont back down to the dominant boxweiller who is more than twice his size lol...hope this helps ...ann

We were advised by our vet to wait until our Chocolate boy was confidently cocking his leg to wee. They said if we did it before then he may never learn how to cock his leg and we thought he'd look a bit of a wally doing girly wees when he was a 'big' boy. He was 11 months old when he was 'done'. Not entirely sure if it helped his behaviour because he has that 'chocolate randomness' which is very funny, but frustrating at times! He knows exactly how to behave, but there are times when you would never believe we take him training every week. He'll be three on Sunday and we love him to bits.
