In most cases, a veterinarian is trained to wait until the puppy is four months (16 weeks) old to schedule a spay/neuter surgery. However, new research and techniques show you can spay a puppy as young as 8 weeks with very low complication rates provided the puppy is at least 5 pounds in weight at the time of surgery.

Should your second puppy be male or female?
It doesn't matter that much, it just depends on personal preference, whether or not they get along with each other and with other pets in the family, and if they are neutered/spayed. If they aren't neutered or spayed, you should be sure to get the same gender puppy if you do not want them to breed.

Are the benefits of altering a dog the same no matter what the age of the dog?
Most dogs should be spayed or neutered, yes. However, a very mellow dog may not need it, or an older dog, or a dog in ill health may not be a good candidate for the procedure. A female dog past puppy-bearing age doesn't need to be spayed any more. Talk to your vet about your concerns and what the options are.
