We have one that neutered before we got him, and the other is still intact. They both mark, but only the intact one will lift his leg.
Our vet didn't see the need in neutering the one dog, he said there is no reason to go through surgery if you don't have to. I'd rather my other dog not have been neutered. They just don't seem as happy, I know I wouldn't be :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Mary Jo Sminkey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 4:58 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: puppies and demodex... > > > We're waiting on him learning how to hike.
