It all depends on your boy, some males are NEVER interested in mating and have no idea what to do the poor soles but then again some of them do fine.
It up to you whether you wait or not

Can't you think of a better reason to breed your dog than 'the lady 2 houses down wants to'? You don't pair breeding dogs because they live conveniently nearby! No dog should be bred before it is at least 2 years old, once it has fully developed both physically and mentally. How else is it going to prove that it is worth breeding?
Being purebred does not automatically make a dog breeding quality. Neither does having a show-winning parent, or even two. Breeding dogs is a lifelong work; no two dogs will produce an entire litter of breeding quality puppies, otherwise breeders would have much more free time not to mention a lot more money.
BTW why book him an appointment if you planned on breeding him anyway? You're full of it.

Please don't breed your dog, don't cancel your appointment and tell the lady down the street to take a leap. Seriously, why would anyone want to breed to such a young dog? There is no way to even know if he has traits worth passing on yet. Obviously you got this dog as a pet as you already have an appointment for neutering so just stick to your original plan. People shouldn't breed dogs just because they can. Breeding should only be done to better the breed as a whole. Chances are there is nothing so special about your dog or hers that needs to be passed on to another generation of dogs.

Really your male needs to be a year old. Being that young he may not have a clue what to do and will just get the female upset to where she may not accept him. And you stud him put you don't breed him.. If you stud him out now he may not have enough sperm to peregrinate the female. I am not saying it can't happen but less chance that it will. AKC will not register a litter of the male is under 8 months old. I would not recommend studding your male at this time, but would wait until he is a year old.

I was going to breed my spaniel male once before having him fixed, everyone thought he was so beautiful.
My groomer told me it was cruel to breed a male and then cut off his ballz. How would you like a taste of what it's like, and then have it taken away.
best to never know!! get him fixed now........not cuz he's too young to breed, or to many breeders or dogs. that's bs.
don't let him get some, just to have it taken away.
he'll always have that taste and be very sad!!!
don't breed him before getting him fixed.
if you are using him as a 'stud' charge 200 - 400 min.$$$
and use him as an akc registered cocker spaniel!
make sure her dog is registered, eye certified, and comes from a reputable breeder.
see the paper work.
don't breed him.

A good age for breeding a male is between 1-2 years. If you are studding out your pet get as much info on the Dam as possible... has she ever been bred before? if so ask for a brusolosis test( to check for doggie VD) Make sure your male is healthy and has a good temprament. Be a responsible breeder.

You should get him neutered without breeding him first.
At this point he has never experienced breeding. Neuter him so that he doesn't experience it and know what it's like and possibly continue to be interested in girls in season, hump legs, hike his leg to mark dominantly. Even tho he can't breed once neutered, he'll remember the smell and what he had done once.
Breeding males tends to give them a bit of a bit head so to speak. You want to discourage annoying male behaviours, so don't allow him to learn them.

Why breed him at all? There are so many breeders already, too many dogs in shelters and over population is a huge problem. Why don't you just stick to your sensible plan and neuter him? Enjoy your pet and don't add more dogs to a world where millions are euthanized every single year.

sure he can. in elementary terms breed while: a million. The canines are comparable breed and AKC registered. 2. they're a minimum of two yrs old and been examined for genetic problems in the breed. 3. they have earned championship call in the prepare rings. 4. you have written permission to reproduce the canines. in case you are able to no longer or won't do the above, call your vet now and spay/neuter your canines.

Neuter him now. He doesn't need to breed. Too many homeless dogs, as is.
Breeding age is 2 yrs old, by the way.
