Question
My Nephew has a Pit Bull, approximately 1 year old.  He refuses to have him neutered.  I'm worried about the aggression factor because there is a small child that lives in the house with the dog.  There are also 2 boxers that live in the house. When is it too late to have a dog neutered?  

Answer
It is NEVER to late to have a dog neutered. The aggression should not be an issue if the dog has grown up with the child and the boxers. Neutering him will help stop the overpopulation of shelter pits as well as calm him down. A male dog will travel for 10+ miles to get to a female in heat. I suggest neutering him ASAP...
