[Cardi2008]

I all,

I have a few questions for anyone who owns an intact male adult dog. As you know, I own Cardi and he is an 8 month old male Poodle puppy. He is of show quaility and comes from champion parents. His breeder wants me to show him but I am skeptical about owning an intact male. Here are a few questions for ya:

Does anyone have an intact adult male that DOES NOT lift his leg to pee but squats instead?
Does anyone's inact male not mark everything on a walk or hike?
How is your male around other dogs, family or not?
Does your intact male ever try to dominate or show agression?
Does your intact male try to fight for the alpha role?
How is the wandering issue with your intact male dog?

Thanks to everyone who can give me honest information. It will helpme with my decisions.

Thanks again!

Didn't you already have him neutered though? I thought you asked this before and then a few days later had him neutered. I don't know...maybe Im wrong. lol

I was going to have him neutered and had an appointment for it....but then started to have second thoughts. I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing before I do something permanent.

WonderPup....that was very informative. That really helps me out A LOT!

So, your boys started the annoying male behavior after they either saw another dog do it or after they were bred??

Well, I don't plan on breeding Cardi, but I am interested in showing. He is the only dog we currently own.
