We have decided, on the advice of our breeder, to hold out on Echo's neutering. She convinced us that if he doesn't have any "bad" male traits yet, then to hold off on that until 12-14 months as it will result in a better looking dog.
She said as long as he doesn't get a sniff of a female in heat, he'll most likely be fine, but if he does he could "change" in a matter of a week. But that we should also do it if he starts showing any "strong male behaviour" like lifting the leg while peeing, or aggressive advances at other dogs.
So we'll wait... Marnie is counting the days.
