Well, actually we never did get him neutered. We ended up using him as a stud. It's pretty rare in our area to find another RED toy poodle - not apricot but copper penny red - so when someone saw him and asked, we agreed to use him. It was after that that he started marking even more but not having enough experience with the male dog issues (and not having a site like YT to rely on to teach me these things) we didn't realize neutering would have helped out with that problem. A few years later he started having heart issues and it was a bit risky to put him under anesthesia so we never got him fixed. He was still a healthy (with the aid of medication) happy pup all the way till the end though!
