Subject: Spay or not to Spay

Hi,
I was wondering if you might be able to provide some advice? I have a Boerboel pup. We have been taking him to obedience training on Saturdays and he is the star of the class. He's very smart he knows how to open my bedroom door. We also have been taking him to doggie daycare once or twice a week for the day to help socialize him. He loves it. Everything was going well there until last Friday when they told me they had to separate him from the rest of the dogs. I guess he is trying to mount all the dogs and care takers. Even the dogs that are bigger then him. He does not do this to me or my wife. We tried it again Monday and they said he was at it again. He is no longer allowed to join the play groups. They recommended that I have him neutered. I was planning on do this but I thought he is still too young. He's five months old and everything I have seen online says you need to wait 6 months to a year. One site said for large breeds wait a minimum of 1 to 2 years, for health issues and so that they reach their full growth potential. I have also read that a Boerboel continues to grow for 3 years.
So I am confused and not sure when I should have it done. If at all? What is your opinion on this?
Thank you,
Patrick
