Kaykohl Land German Shepherd Articles Exceptional European Import Bred GSDs for Exceptional American Families Spaying/Neutering Your German Shepherd As dog lovers and dog owners we strongly advise NOT spaying or neutering your German Shepherd until they are a minimum 18 months of age. Dogs neutered before puberty tend to have longer legs, flatter chests, and narrower skulls than intact dogs of their breeds because the hormones that regulate sexual activity also interact with hormones that guide growth of muscles, bones, and tendons. These physical differences can place more stress on joints and can cause problems for active dogs. Additional drawbacks specific to spay surgery include increased incidence of bladder incontinence, triple the frequency of thyroid disease, and higher risk of some cancers, joint problems, and obesity and adverse reactions to vaccinations.
