when to neuter our newfie pup

[mattserinadiego]

diego is getting close to six months old. the vet said that he can be neutered at six months, but now we are wondering if we shouldn't wait a while longer...

anyone know what the general guideline is on when to neuter a newf?

thanks

this is a very debated topic.  personally, i'm waiting until 1 y/o to alter our dogs.  here's a link to read

also, search "neutering" here on BPO and it comes up with several topics discussing neutering.  here's a good one though.

good luck in making your choice! i'm sure others will have better advice!
