I've gotten dogs from the shelter that were neutered early and never had a problem. One boy I got at about 5 months and he was really traumatized from the shelter environment and whatever happened to him before. He is over a year now and the biggest social cuddle-bug on the planet. He was young enough that with socialization and love he forgot all about his trauma.
