oh gosh he's sooo cute! I wish I could take him! He looks at you already like he adores you!
You are wonderful for realizing that he potentially might not fit with your lifestyle, too many people do not do that. The fate of those babies is sooo sad!
I have 2 boys myself. They are brothers from the same liter. They turned 3 years old in Sept. One of them for the most part is very calm. He is a mommas boy and a lapdog all the way. If there is a lap open he is snoozing on it. The other one though.... whoa....I call him OCD puppy! He is a darling and I adore him, but he is wild! He is always at attention, always curious and checking things out. I love that about him, his energy and enthusiasm. Had I only gotten him and wanted a lapdog it might have been a challenge.
Both my boys wind down at about 830pm and both sleep on my lap. My hyper boy every morning is my cuddle bug also. He wakes up with the alarm at 6 and comes and cuddles with me until at least 630am. After that he is a ball of energy and I can't keep him in bed, he talks to me (barks), rolls around like a maniac, and paws me with front paws. We get up then!
I think once you get that boy fixed he'll be a whole new dog. The marking should stop, he will calm down a bit too Im sure. He'll also stop harrassing your other dog's genitals. I bet he becomes more cuddly too. When I got my dex fixed he went from really independant to super cuddly/clingy! Night and day difference in him. I wish he had a happy medium.
Dex has tough hair too, matts sooo easily. I could spend an hour a day brushing him and never get all the mats out. He is not good at being brushed either. He wiggles, jiggles, growls and nips at the brush. Its torture for him and for me. I try to get him groomed every 2 months and its about $40 a grooming. But you could lessen that cost by buying some clippers and doing it yourself.
anyways good luck making your decision, sounds like you are doing the smart right thing all the way!
