Some advice would be great. We have a nearly 7 month old cocker, we've spoken to a couple of vets at our practice, during routine checks and vaccs, about when to have him castrated and got different advice, one said wait until at least 9 months so he has a chance to become more masculine looking, the other said anytime after 6 months.
A friend of DHs who breeds, a different breed, told him we need tobe careful with the timing because he may go through another fear phase and you have to avoid that.
Our last male came to us as a rescue at 8 months and we had him done quite soon afterwards, it was years ago and I don't remember timing being a big issue.
