With our Freedom litter of 13 last year we Spayed and Neutered at 8 weeks of age and had the chance to see the comparison between the two left intact and the ones Spayed or Neutered at 8 weeks. We had seven of the 13 at the 1 year old birthday party.
The only difference that could be seen is what you see in any litter at 1 year of age. Some had the Dams characteristic's and some the sires. As was mentioned in other post's on this subject is the fact that it is much easier on puppy than a adult dog. They were up and at it like nothing had been done as soon as they were back with their littermates. The major factor behind doing this is the fact that none of these Berners will end up in an ill advised breeding program. Our current litter will done the same way. Ray & Pat.
