No, it does not stunt their growth at all. I've noticed that countries - other than the U.S. -- have very different desexing philosophies. Since a dog does not reach it's sexual maturity until after sometime after one year, what difference would it make if you waited until it's six months old? Also, the surgery is less invasive when done earlier. But old habits die hard and some vet won't do the surgery until six to eight months. Many humane societies across the U.S. are also going with early spay and neuters.

It is interestin g you bring up the esarly desexing. It seems so unnatural to me. Can you give me your point of view why early desexing is so possitive rasther than waiting till they are 1/2 year old. Doesnt it stun their growth?

I have a beautiful litter of 1st generation labradoodles for sell. I have chocolate males and black males available. Sorry, no females. Being a dog trainer, I will say that I have found early neutered male dogs a pleasure to train. I strongly recommend that anyone not planning to breed their pups have them neutered as early as possible. Guide Dogs for The Blind and several other service dog agencies are starting to spay/neuter at 8 weeks and are seeing great results.
This litter of pups will be eight weeks old on December 23. If anyone is interested, please email me separately. The coats appear to be wavy - not curly. The colors are stunning.
