| Neutering Help! Choco hasn't been neutered yet, but he is now 14 weeks old and the vet asked me if I wanted him to be neutered... many people say it is better to get them neutered because they would be easier to take care of.... but i heard it can cost up to 100 and my budget is kind of tight and i was also thinking about breeding when Choco grows up.. but then i don't know how to take care of the dog if they did not get neutered and i heard you can't really teach them to behave.... any suggestions?? what should i do?

| Please don't take offence, because it is better to ask questions. But yours are the very basic dog questions. If you need help with these you are in no way ready to breed a dog. Get your baby neutered as soon as your vet is willing. It is a tad easier, then you won't run the risk of a marker. No guarantees, but more than likely. Get a few years under your belt, and learn all you can. Get a breeder that you like and trust and work with them. Then you will see if you can afford to breed... Good luck

Just keep that in mind! I would suggest neutering ASAP. In the end it'll be a lot cheaper | |

| 14 weeks is a bit young to be getting neutered. I suggest waiting a minimum of 6 months before neutering him. My vet suggested around 8 months before neutering because he said Leo was very small. I actually decided to neuter him now (next tuesday) at the age of 2. |

| Yes, it would be best to wait until your baby is fully grown |
