The Spotted Devil Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 In terms of hormones/growth/development there is no difference between desexing at 6 months vs 10 weeks. The sex hormones promote growth plate closure so you need to wait until the dog has finished growing before desexing - age would vary between breeds and individuals. The delay in growth plate closure in long bones is what causes slightly taller dogs. Effects on HD are not clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
