I had Buddy done right at 5 months. My vet is the one who chose the date for us. If you're not a breeder and aren't showing him, it's better that you do. There are a lot of health issues that could come up later and you'd wish you did. And after a while, they mellow out a little. Buddy doesn't try to hump anymore and I didn't have any problems with him messing with his stitches since his vet put them inside. He could lick at it while it was healing but couldn't reach the stitches.
