There are study's made on that subject and some say it can hurt the dog to neuter at young age and them some it doesn't. You can google early neuter and read those studies and make up your mind.
I like to take mine to the vets when needed, take good care of them and try not to worry in advance. I've got two males (2y8m and 8m) and I'm not planning on neuter eather if not needed.
When I took Sheldon in the first time he said if we didn't plan on using Sheldon to stud to consider having him neutered because it would be healthier for him....not sure why it would be healthier but we had Sheldon done probably around 8months maybe even later I'd have to look back at the papers to be sure.
Love has a name and its name is Sheldon!!!<3
