When do you neuter a Newfoundland puppy?
Neutering is one method of what may be called “birth control” for canines. It is not a fad or kind of fashion trend but a choice to join an effort in saving unwanted offspring from being neglected in the future.
There are some opinions as to when a Newfoundland puppy should be neutered. Some say that it should never be at a young age as it may affect their behavior as they grow or that it should be done before they hit sexual maturity. If the latter is chosen then owners of the pup can bring them to the vet between 4 to 6 months. But it is also documented that neutering can be done as early as 6 to 8 weeks of the dog’s birth.
Whichever choice owners make, it seems to still contribute to the cause of preventing breeding and keeping the dog happy, reducing health concerns and removing the irritating behavior associated with them being in heat.
