I had Sinister neutered when he was 15 months old but I will wait closer to 2 years for my next male.
I plan on spaying Malice between 15-18 months of age.

Sorry I forgot to mention, this thread is when do your PREFER having your dog spayed/neutered, not when did you have your dog spayed/neutered.
Sorry I didn't add that in! My apologies!

I neutered Jazz at 15 months of age. I would have preferred to wait until he was 2 years but I neutered him early because I was having a lot of difficulty finding a place to board him while he was intact.

My vet said they will neuter Knuckles at 5months. I hope I'm not ruining this thread by asking why people want to wait 2 years?

So for just a "pet", it's ok to neuter early... if it doesn't matter to you how they fill out later? There are no health reasons on when the best time is?

Some people say if you spay/neuter early you can prevent cancer but dogs still get cancer even if they were spayed/neutered early. IMO it is better to wait until they are 1+ years old to get spayed/neutered so they are more mature both physically and mentally.

I don't neuter my males
I waited to spay my female after 3 years old. I would have preferred to let her intact, but since she will not be bred and my pup is her uncle, I didn't want to take chances.
