Ranger has NEVER EVER lifted his leg, but I got him neutered at 6 months on the nose. Ryder has only lifted his leg twice that I have seen, but he squats to pee. Ranger goes outside, but Ry uses the potty pad cuz it's too cold for him outside!!! Oh yeah and he wasn't neutered till 14 months old... You know me- I say get a boy!!!!
