when will buddy be fertile?

The litte humping maniac is 3 months old on sunday, candy is 6 months on the same day.I intend to get him neutered at 6 months but does anyone have any idea when he is likely to be fertile from.i've heard differing tales about when dogs are capable of siring a litter!!

The age does vary. Usually males become capable of impregnating a bitch at between 6-12 months. But, I would not take any chances!

I'd agree, b safe than sorry!

Candie, have you looked into the possibility that your lads growth, and maturity might be affected by such early castration. I have recently been reading about this, and I can understand how it happens.

The testicles are reponsible for producing testoterone, the male hormone. Testosterone is responsible for male characteristics, the one's that distingiuish the 'look' of a dog from the 'look' of a bitch. If the testicles are removed before a male puppy finishes developing, he may never look like a male, he may be 'stuck' at the gawky, leggy, out of proportion stage, that they all go through otherwise. Aparently the long bones grow to a slightly longer length and are lighter(thinner) than breed average. The dog may be forever adolescent in body and mind.

If you want to PM me I will direct you to where I found this information.

Ooops Candie, sorry you will have seen the same thing I have seen. Just ignore the above.

thats ok dawn, i have read it before but it's still useful!!thanks!!

Candie if I was you I would just castrate the other male in your house. Im sure you will know what I mean!!!!!
