Ideal age for neutering?

[laurkenn]

I saw the other post on neutering, which made me remember that I wanted to get some opinions. I've heard mixed reviews on when to neuter a pup. I've been told that if you get them fixed too early, it can stunt their growth. That makes sense biologically.. If you cut the source of testosterone I would imagine they wouldn't fill out to their full potential (muscles and such). I've heard some people say it doesn't matter! But Indie is already a small guy, I want him to have the chance to grow as well as he can! Any suggestions or comments?

Thank you! Good reads. I think I'll be putting it off until he grows up more, he's such a little guy already!
