How time flies! The pups are 7 weeks old today. Our breeder brings in experts and other breeders for temperament and conformation testing at 8 weeks, and places them based on that, so we should know which pup we are taking home within the week! There will also be a visit happening around that time, so expect pictures!
I do have a question. As we plan on showing the new pup, he will remain intact. Mario quit marking as soon as he was neutered, but how can we prevent an intact male from marking indoors? I have also read that neutered males have been known to mark if an intact male is brought into the home. Mario is not at all territorial, so I'm hoping this isn't the case with him, but I'd love some pointers just in case.
Thanks!
