Absolutely no difference between neutering a pup at 7 weeks to neutering a pup at 7 months, apart from the fact that the younger they are the quicker they heal and recover, as-well as being psychologically less traumatic. The vets I have come across that won't early neuter is not because they disagree with it but purely that they don't feel confident doing the surgery at this age as it's still a relatively new concept in this country. Early neutering has been carried out in the states for over two decades and is now common practice. No negative effects have been reported from neutering at 7 weeks compared to 7 months but positive effects have been recorded!
I've yet to come across a breeder though that agrees with early neutering

Its a very important informative and educational thread, [ whichever side of the fence people are on ], far too important to risk losing because of slight clashes in posting styles

You remind me more of a frustrated male ............Do you have to try and cause trouble in all your replies because you seem to be trying very hard to.BTW Im not the only person on this forum who thinks so. Grow up.
