Sexual maturity on male dogs

Question
I own a pair of Schnauzers. I recently acquired a young male to replace my dear Raffles, who passed away last December. At what age are Schnauzers male dogs sexually mature?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Answer
Hi Alfredo.  Most male dogs can become sexually mature by the age of 6 - 8 months.  This is why most veterinarians recommend that they are neutered by 4 months (16 weeks)

Good luck, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.  I also want to apologize for the delay in replying to your question.  I am having some remodel work done at my home and lost my internet connection.  It should now be working again without further delay.

Sincerely,
