Re-homing Retired Stud..Worried About Marking Inside Home I have been actively seeking a companion for Junebug, for me finding another Biewer in a rescue ,like I did him, is few and far between. The breed has now been accepted by the AKC as of April 2014 which has also made it more difficult. After a couple weeks of contacting the BTCA and doing some networking, I was able to find a breeder in Alabama who is re-homing his 6yo retired stud. He was imported from Westphalia and is the grandfather of this breeders #1 show winner and she is only around 7 months old (picture is attached below). If you click on the pic it should come up a larger image, for she is gorgeous! Anyway, he has agreed to pay to have him neutered as well as a dental and I will be paying the courier fee (I am in PA). I will also be getting his pedigree and vet records. My main issue is that the breeder has told me he has a tendency to mark his territory within his home. This is not surprising and is expected in a small breeding establishment. I am curious as to if it will stop once he is neutered? JB is neutered and never goes in the home except on pee pads during the day when he is confined in the kitchen when I am working. This retired breeder is also trained on pee pads but I do "NOT" want him going in the house all the time. I am hoping he gets into a routine along with JB. He likes his soft-sided carrier so I ordered one for him to spend the nights in. JB sleeps in a petbed in our bedroom and is not confined but I do not need this new addition to be peeing in the house at night. Any/all advice is appreciated.
