Ok buys....let me throw in a bit of a curve here.

I babysit for a 2 year old boy (nuetered). My girlfriend has a 2 year old girl (nuetered). When they are together, their number one priority is to mate. She flags him, he attempts to mount her. While they are the best of buddies and are very taken to each other, for the most part just love playing together. But, they are never left alone together.

Not all spay/nuetered dogs act in this manners, so it is unncessary to keep boys and girls seperate at all times...just be cautious and alert as you are all the time with your dogs.

Let me touch on the breeder aspect of this. If ever AKC inspects your home, they will ask you for several things, your records, check your dogs. But, a trick question they ask is. How do you breed your dogs. They frown at answers such as: we put them in an x-pen together, or room, or crate. Knowing the ramifications of that, they know the importance of a supervised, hands-on, assistted breeding.
