It’s very unlikely at this point that they will drop so waiting until they drop probably isn’t an option.

I waited until 8 months with my youngest and it was a HUGE mistake because he started marking and it was to late I had to train him not to do it in the house.

And that is what you should do, neuter and remove any baby teeth at the same time. You also have to wait for his testicles to drop.

Bon Bon was neutered at 6 months. No more aggressive behavior! He had an un-descended testicle at 8 weeks and at 12 weeks, but by 16 weeks, it dropped. At 24 weeks, snip!

Thank you all so much for the input. I guess for now I will not plan anything in advance, we'll wait until month 6 and then we'll see when to neuter+pull teeth out. Is there any chance all baby teeth will fall out on their own?

When did this behaviour start approx.? I want to know what to watch out for just in case.

About three weeks before he had surgery. He was more snarly with his 'brother' and was much more aggressive guarding toys. He doesn't guard toys any more, and his snarly aggressive fits are shorter and now happen with cause. His big brother is a bit of a klutz, and will jump and hop when playing. Bon Bon is much quicker than his brother and is able to duck, but when he's had enough, he will get his big bro to back off, lie down, and play more fairly. It's amazing to watch. The little guy rules the roost.

We found that the stern "no" from me just rewards him with attention, so my husband immediately takes him out of the room and diverts him with another activity until he calms down. We try not to use his pen as a "time out" place, because we don't want him to associate it with being "punished".

So I'm in need of a psychological support guys :eek:

Last night my furbaby humped his blanket and when I said no and went to take it away he had a full on and I mean FULL ON erection. Nevermind I'm a first time dog owner, the thing was HUGE in proportion to his body. He laid down next to me, napped for a minute or two, tbh he looked a bit confused. In less than 5 minutes it went back.

Last week vet told us his testicles are not even descending yet! :idontknow

I'm not ignorant and understand that he is a live creature and a male and this is normal etc I just didn't expect it to be so early (he's 15 weeks old). I hope its only happening due to lack of new exercises and experiences and as we are OK'ed to go out for walks in a few days it will not happen again.

BF was opposed to neutering him (men take it almost personally I swear :rolleyes:) but at our last vet appt she also recommended to neuter him if we don't want puppies and said we can do it somewhere between 6 and 12 months old. He is now well over 4 lbs - whats your experience? When is a good time for the procedure? Don't want to hurt the puppy but I'm afraid what this humpy-dumpy will be capable of if this is happening so early.
