It depends if you follow the idea that they shouldn't be done until mature I suppose.

A lot of vets seem to be perfectly happy to neuter before a dog is mature, which I really do not agree with.

To just say 'after the first season' means they're not taking the maturity of the dog into consideration.

I would think 18 months - 2 years would be about right for a springer but they're not a breed I'm particularly familiar with.
