| I Could've Sworn He ...what To Do??? YT friends, I could've sworn I saw General Patton lift his leg this morning when he peed!OMG. Isn't that a bit too early? He's only 13.5 weeks young! Now, to my ?. What does that mean? Does it mean he's going to start marking my house? Right now, he's doing reasonably well with the piddle stations, though sometimes if there isn't a piddle station in the room where he is, he'll tinkle where he's not supposed to. But for the most part, he does well. I was thinking of having him neutered at 16 weeks. With the fact that he started lifting his leg, should I have him neutered sooner for fear he'll start marking the house. BTW, I have a female Smooth fox Terrier, but she has been spayed, so I am not concerned that he marks b/c of her. I'll keep an eye to see if he continues to lift his leg. Who knows, maybe I was hallucinating ! Please give me your suggestions about neutering now vs. at 16 weeks... Thanks

| Well my Chicle started lifting his leg i would say at about 3 months... i found that odd too but he doesnt mark anywhere .. he pees only on his pads. sometimes he will sqwat others he will lift his leg. i guess its just instinct.

| Duncan is the same age and yesterday I thought I saw a little leg lifting. Not real high, but it is a begining. I think big brother Bo is helping him to learn. |

| I had Romeo nuetered at 4 1/2 months..he was not lifting his leg. Now at 6 months, he still squats and I've seen no evidence of him trying to mark...he walks to the pad, faces the wall and squats in a long stretch..it's so cute!

| I haven't seen him lift his leg any more today. Let's hope not any time soon. But....please give me advice on whether to consider neutering soon vs. waiting till he's 16 weeks or more.

| My vet won't neuter Duncan until he is 6 months. He said he wants his personality to develop first. I said I think he is already full of personality. |
