Basil was neutered at 5 1/2 months. Before his surgery he squatted most of the time, but once in a while he lifted his leg, barely! I haven't noticed a difference now that he is neutered. He was very easy to train to potty outside in a designated area in our fenced in yard and has never lifted his leg in the house. On the other hand, his sister, Anise is another story! They both will be 6 months old tomorrow and I wouldn't dream of trusting Anise in the house. In my many, many years of owning dogs of several different breeds, both male and female, I have experienced the male dogs to be easier to potty train and more reliable to stick to it throughout their life.
Good luck chooses a male...you will also find him more loving than a female.
