Ckeywood Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 We have a puppy of 7 months old. Jack Russell (mum) Labrador (dad) cross. Don't ask me how they managed that one! Anyway, we would like to have our bunndle of joy "seen to" to prevent him getting over affectionate with the ladies. Anyone know the best age for this to be done.Many thanksSara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some say the operation should not be considered before they cock their legs, others. On the other hand if it is left too late unwanted behaviour - for example straying, fighting, mounting the cat... - may have become too ingrained to be eliminated - so to be on the safe side some recommend operating at around six months.I had my border collie done at a year old, with the benefit of hindsight I would have organized it earlier, as long as my vet was still happy to carry it out.

Ckeywood Posted June 22, 2004 Author Share Posted June 22, 2004 Thanks all for your replies. Looks as though it's time for the trip to the vet. Will let you know how much it costs here in Manche (50). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
