She was saying that she didn't see much different in neutering younger than 6 months and neutering after full growth has been attained. She said maybe with Labs, they will have blockier heads, but that's all the difference you will see.
I know it is not cut and dry, but I wish she had some knowledge of the studies out there, like the one that showed males dogs neutered before 5.5 months of age had a higher incidence of hip dysplasia.
She also said you have to spay before the first heat, but some studies now say to do it later, so it would be nice to know she's reading up and at least considering the new information.
