Breeding my little boy! - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Your boy isn't even old enough to breed yet and far from being fjull grown. you don't know how big he will be when he is done growing.

I would suggest to you to get him neutered now, before he reaches puberty, or he will be lifting his leg all over your house for the rest of his life.

If neutered before they reach 7 months, most males do not mark in fact many don't even lift their legs. But once they reach puberty it becomes instinct and you cannot prevent it.

I have a sneaking suspicion that in about 3 months there will be another thread with the OP saying the deed had been done, the pups are here and the bitch didn't die so that OBVIOUSLY means that people on here don't know what they are talking about.

Hopefully when that happens, the very knowledgable breeders here will tell her she got lucky and once again numerate exactly what was wrong behind the thinking. I say that not because it will prevent the OP from doing it again, but because the thread will be educational for those newbies reading here when it happens.

Is it beating a dead horse to have to repeat everything? Yes. But obviously there will always be people who either think they know better or just plain don't care enough about the dogs to do the right thing.

And just as unfortunately, there will be other posters coming on and jumping all over the knowledgable, responsible people for being "mean". Stupidity seems to thrive with cheerleaders.

Excellent analysis!

I would also suggest putting a Barry White CD in the CD player .....

A little back and foot massage should work.

Thanks Jeanie for this bit of information. I got Beamer a day before his first birthday July last year and had him neutered this April And he still marks his territory, and I thought neutering him would stop that (that wasn't the reason for neutering though)

So, even though this thread was about something else, it has been educational for me.

This isn't always true. I've had pups that begin lifting their leg at 12 weeks of age. Nuetering them didn't change it. Pups that were nuetered at 4 months of age....if they are prone to lifing their leg, they are just going to lift their leg.

babiehammer · 08-06-2010, 01:59 PM

oh no... no no no no no!

Poor little pups.

Maximo started lifting at 12 weeks. Thankfully, he does not mark in the house. It's still a bummer keeping his coat clean.

Beamer isn't as bad as he used to be. But the other day he walked over to Lil Bit's bed and lifted his leg on it. I think he was trying to tell her something

Marking is a complex phenomenon that is considered "wired in" behavior, and is governed by the hormone testosterone. Since the testes make the bulk of testosterone, neutering at an early age can reduce the probability of marking. However, the adrenal gland also makes testosterone in both males and females, and if the dog is living with other dogs the adrenal glands pump in to make more. Smells can stimulate the glands to produce more testosterone, and this in tern encourages the marking response. Rule of thumb is if you get them neutered before testes produces enough hormone to enter the blood stream and cause changes in behavior, you can eliminate, indoor marking. All thumb rules go out the window when more dogs enter the picture.

One boy that I bred and showed, instinctively would squat when he was groomed to go in the ring, all other times he would lift his leg.

Wow how much more money is she going to make then you? How can you make a comment like that? Is that what your dog is to you? A money making machine.

Did you honestly think you could ask about breeding your dog and give the details you have given and think we would all applaud you and say GO FOR IT!?

What your asking about is disgusting. You obviously let information on YT go in one ear and out the other! Isn't your dog still a baby himself? How can you be thinking about "making" money off him already. POOR POOR PUPPY!!

Bailey started lifting his leg to pee at about 14 weeks, he was neutered around 6 months. He has never marked inside.
