When should you neuter your puppy?
Full Question:
When should you neuter your puppy? 
Ed's Answer:
If your goal is to do protection work or police service work with your dog, do not neuter until it is 24 months old. Let the dog have access to his hormones to develop and mature. If he is neutered at 2 years it will not effect his working ability.
If a dog is neutered at 6 months it will definitely effect his protection work, (by reducing the drives.)
If a dog is a monorchid (only has one testicle come down) it is critical to have the dog neutered at 2 years of age. If the testicle has not come down and is not removed there is a high probability of it developing cancer at about 5 years of age.
