Question
Can you tell me when I should neuter my female toy poodle.She was born on July 3, 2008 and I want to neuter her before she goes into her first heat

Answer
She is old enough now and will be coming into heat very soon. You need to schedule her asap. The average age of the first esterus is 6 months.
Bless you for doing this and being a responsible pet owner. She will benefit from a life time of better health as a result.
