Thank you all for your advice and information. I know in my heart what should be done but it's hard...you know? He's such a good boy and he's turning out so much better than I thought he would...I think he had the 'ugly duckling syndrome' when he was little.

I'm not a breeder or a show dog owner and I'm not sure I could ever be either one and I certainly don't want to add to the pet over population problem. I regret having Jo neutered (but it was necessary in his case) so I'm having second thoughts about getting Riley done...even though I know it's the responsible thing to do. Thanks again...
