Ask Dr. Pawz: What is the best age to neuter a dog? Puberty in dogs can range anywhere from 6 months to 24 months depending upon the breed, with larger breed dogs maturing later than small breeds. Significant behavioral problems, as well as accidental breedings, can be avoided if neutered between 6 and 12 months. At this time, that is the agreed upon recommendation by most veterinarians. For female dogs, I would say that the jury is still out.

Their breeding season lasts three-quarters of the year, and the does don't have an estrous or heat cycle.
