The vet said it was due to his size (4.2lbs), but obviously there are boys that are smaller than Brutus and they get neutered. |
Three of my 4 female yorkies leg lift to pee. My male golden at the time assisted with the housebreaking of the yorkies. Leg lifting is a natural behavior. My golden would unload in 1 leg lift and never marked in the house. He was neutered later in life, too.
