Thank god Dexter doesn't hump! However he pees on everything and I mean EVERYTHING. Well, he is very good in the house, but outside he's like it's mine, all mine mawhahhaha! I keep him on the lead in the park now to stop him peeing on jumper "goal posts" and stealing from people's disposable BBQs
Dobby looks gorgeous

Question for those with male dogs.... prompted by the above! .... At what age did you have yours castrated.. I know in the old days one had to wait till they were about six months but I gather the advice has now changed to ... as soon as you like..
Any thoughts?

I don't know when Dexter was done unfortunately. I do wonder that because he doesn't hump, whether he was done early and therefore never got the mating urge?
I know it's a different species but my cats when I was in Australia were neutered very early (male and female). I think it was at 12 weeks??

Tee hee to peeing on Jumpers for Goalposts, Red Ant.....although not if it happened obv!
Jess humped her bedding for a while. it's pretty common behaviour in young dogs including bitches.
I genned up on all that info D, but have forgotten the mopst recent recommendations - as Dave says best to speak to your vet. Some seem more enlightened and up to date than others - but I think you have a good one?

His breeder may also have some advice/feedback from the owners of previous litters perhaps D2? Wanda was spayed just before we got her and she seemed so young for it (probably around 9 months old?) but she coped with it all fine... never had to deal with it for a male dog though
