Thoughts on Spaying/Neutering Pup at 7-8 weeks of age

I have a friend who has a Golden Doodle and when I mentioned that my pup would arrive, already spayed/neutered, she was horrified. She indicated that spaying/neutering pups when they are 7-8 weeks of age causes all types of health problems and gender confusion, i.e. male dogs squatting to urinate (that was the example given...). It had never crossed my mind prior to this conversation because almost all breeders that I researched had the procedure done during the early puppy stage. I wanted to get feedback from others in this group regarding this matter--What are your thoughts???
