| we are leaving our dog (16 months old) intact while we show/title him with intent to breed down the road. We'll see. If that doesn't happen, then we will neuter him. So far, despite all the warnings, we have had zero issues from this intact male dog. He is an angel - knock on wood. We chalk it up to good parenting - I guess. otherwise, he is a very typical doberman. The only gripe is he is going through what we think is a picky eating young male thing - we are having to tough love him through this stage to learn to eat. |
