[quote=Anonymous]My vet recommended getting it done between 12 and 18 months. Is there a reason you're having it done so early? I've done a lot of research on whether or not to neuter and I've decided we are only going to have it done if we have issue with behaviors that would benefit from it. Even then they would need to be pretty compelling reasons. Recent research is showing spaying and neutering is not as harmless as previously thought. Neutering especially has shown an increase risk for arthritis, hip dysplasia, osteosarcoma, and obesity. There have also been a few studies linking anxiety issues in male dogs with neutering because they aren't getting testosterone any longer. Spaying and neutering are also less common in Europe. In Norway it is illegal. Our last dog ended up having anxiety and aggression issues and they seemed to arise shortly after neutering him.

Obviously, if your dog is at a high risk of getting loose and causing an unwanted litter then you should definitely get him neutered.
