Hello I just joined and my Saint Sabastian is just over 5 months old. He is a beautiful healthy joy 85% of the time. Granted he is going through his teething and beginning to hump pillows and blankets..
I have sifted through so many different articles and blogs and I am so very confused.
To those of you who have owned purebred goldens with more experience than I can you share what you have done and why?
I have not had him fixed, my vet says that it could help with his fits of momentary need for dominance.. however I want to hold off my breeder agrees with waiting as she also is concerned about health problems in the future if he is fixed too young.
Do any of you have grown male goldens who you have chosen NOT to fix that you have had success in quelling some of the behaviors that come along with the randy male dog.
We love him to death and don't want to risk his health.
All suggestions and tips are welcome we are working through his adolescence!
thank you!
