that's 2 articles copied and pasted boss ..maybe your vet knows something nobody else does

None of this is sound advice. I know a lot of vets and all of the shelters want to neuter early. Their main mission is to prevent puppies. There are too many studies to list pointing out the folly of this. If someone really can't take the time to educate themselves. I'm not sure what I can do for them on the internet.
