Answer
Todd-

You can neuter your dog as early as 8 weeks old. So long as he is over two pounds, it is medically safe to neuter him. Most vets recommend a dog getting neutered between 4 and 6 months old age if possible, just to allow them to get a little bigger and make it easier on them, but in rescue thats not always possible (Since we get a lot of puppies) so I have spayed/neutered over 3 thousand puppies between 8 weeks and 6 months. You have nothing to worry about! He will be just fine :)

Good luck!
