Since it is an irreversible action, timing is very important. Neutering your Bernese before reaching sexual maturity is a big mistake. According to most experts a dog should not be neutered before the age of 6 months, but it can vary with different breeds. Usually, the bigger the breed is, the more you have to wait. Some vets don’t recommend spaying or castration before the puppy is over 1 year old, because neutering before long bone growth has finished may increase the risk of bone cancer and joint problems.
For females it is quite controversial whether to wait for the first heat period or not. According to some researchers, spaying a pup before the first one can help prevent various health problems, but on the other hand, some other experts say that it can cause even more risks.
