My little guy is 4 1/2 months old now and does not lift his leg, or mark anything.
I am having some trouble potty training him, but i think that's because the breeder left him in his cage until i got him at 3 months, so he got very accustomed to being in his own waste... which is really sad.
He has humped a couple of times but it's usually when he's really roudy, and he can easily be distracted by a toy.
My vet says IF you can neuter them before they start marking and humping, they'll probably never do it... but if you neuter them after they've already learned those facinating things, they'll most likely continue doing them after the neuter.
You know, I have always had girls, but I really enjoy the experience of having a male dog. He's a little more independant and playful... but he's very loyal... much more than female dogs I think. He'll pick his person, and that's it. Good luck.
