I have a few questiona about male poodles (or male dogs in general)
Is it OK to neuter them at 6 months?
Do male poodles mark indoors?
Would an indoor potty place be a problem(pee pads) when a male poodle lifts his leg to pee? If the male poodle was neutered early and he peed squatting down, does the pee get on his legs?
I know people usually say to wait at least two years to neuter a male, but what about toys and minis? Having an intact male doesn’t sound good to me, since I have a female.
I’m curious because when I eventually add a second poodle (Even if it’s 4 years away) I think a female-male pairing would be better but I’ve only had experience with a female poodle so I favor the females over males at this point. Most of my concerns are about the house staying clean.
