that is when my vet prefers to fix them. My vet likes to do it around six months and he also checks for retained puppy teeth so he can extract them if they need it, while they are out.

If the palate needs to be done, 6 months may be a bit young. If there's no reason to neuter at 6 months (eg: marking behavior, medical issues, etc), I would try to hold off so that exposure to anesthesia is limited. I had Q done at 14 0r 16 months (I forget) for medical reasons, and I had his palate evaluated and resected at the same time.

Six months is early enough to avoid sexual maturity, but old enough to better withstand anesthesia. Best wishes.
