We don't have British but do have Selkirk Rex with, obviously, a fair amount of British in their pedigrees. One was early neutered by the breeder at 14 weeks and, although I didn't think so at one time, I do have to say that he is the lightest of the 3 boys, despite being the largest in stature and I DO think it has affected his development.

The other 2 we neutered at 11 months and 16 months (both with the breeders' blessings), the one at 11 months has more Pesian than British in him and was never a problem before or after, never sprayed or anything. The other we left to 16 months to try to get him to champion first, as the breed only gained Champ status from June 2009 he was 14 months old before he could win his first CC. We were lucky in that he never sprayed but he did develop a habit of weeing on chairs and beds. We coped by covering chairs with waterproof coverings whern we weren't around and banning him from the bedrooms. He entered his first show as a neuter 2 1/2 months after being neutered and stopped his inappropriate weeing about 8 months after being neutered.

Their sister we got to Grand Champion before neutering and she was neutered in late June this year at 14 months old. We are very lucky in that one of our vets is a brilliant cat vet and she did the minimum amount of shaving and a tiny incision that took just one stitch. (Photo attached) The fur is growing well and we have entered her in a show at the very end of this month so that is 3 months after the op. I doubt the fur will be fully back as she is a LH Selkirk but I feel that at PC level it will certainly be back enough not to be marked down as it is very obvious from where it is, what it is.

Hope that helps
