Don#%92t neuter a male large breed dog before 1 year of age. I bet your vet never told you that one. Male dogs can be up to 20% larger than their female counterparts and therefore need that extra testosterone for the proper muscle development to support that extra large skeleton. Don#%92t do this surgery until they finish developing physically. Trust me, I have worked with hundreds of large working dogs and I can tell you if a dog is neutered from across the room without looking between the legs. Large breeds that are neutered young develop noticeably differently. They will have a much less muscular body. The ideal time to neuter is between 12 months and 16 months of age for males if it must be done
Ok, here we have a German Shepherd, he is 11 months old......., so, is he neutered or not, considering he has a pretty muscular set up, and if he is neutered at what age was he neutered.......?
