This is early, but there is no consequences from nuetering them this early. I
work for a
rescue group and we nueter all the puppies at 8 weeks. His hormones still
kicked in for
about a month after his nueter. Those hormones still flow regaurdless of his
nueter. He
was about 2 and a half pounds when he was nuetered and he is a happy plump 9
pounds
now, so there was no growth stunt.
Good luck newbie owner, isn't it wonderful!

and read this is VERY early. An animal has not fully developed neither
personality-wise nor
physically. Aren't some of those hormones he'll now be without necessary for
proper
development?

Thanks as
always for all your kind input. This is in no way meant to differ with that
owner's
philosophy, only to ask for other opinions.
