Question about neutering

annb1958

I have a question about the Lomond Hills pups for sale...is it acceptable to neuter pups at 6 weeks old? wouldnt a clause in the contract be enough? I know of a woman who bought a pup from them costing thousands of pounds only for him to come down with lymphoma at 2 yrs old. Is there any connection as Ive read early neutering causes all sorts of problems. Ive never heard of breeders spaying and castrating so young.

You couldnt neuter at 6 weeks, do you mean 6 months??

I've moved this post to it's own thread as it's sort of a different question to the previous thread.

4 months is the youngest ive ever heard of and even thats questionable, it must be 6 months?

Sure at 6 weeks the testicles wouldnt even be developed or dropped, and i cant imagine the uterus would be developed enough either to be removed?

We just recently got our guy neutered and we were told by the vet the earliest you can neuter a dog is 5 months so 6 weeks sounds insane in comparision to the advice we were given.
