Just a little food for thought.

I'm hoping that you have decided to reconsider your decision to have a litter of puppies for your friends and family.
Good point! How could I have not thought to mention that? Since I am going through that very problem with my once wonderfully house-trained Ben. Now, he likes to mark table legs and even wall corners. He is testing me big time on this. I was about ready to make an appointment to neuter him, but I am being talked out of it by everyone who sees him. He is a pretty boy but I can't deal with this marking thing!
