| I don't think that obedience training is the issue as Trishb wrote as this dog is prepared to pass the cd test. The dog also obviously is trained to perform in the conformation ring so I think something else must be done. Cpayne, you do know that as soon as you neuter your dog you are out of the running as far as your CH hopes go. I would say that your dog is starting to mature right about now. He is starting to come in to his own and doesn't quite know how to deal with this fine young female. If you watch them closely you will probably find he is making mating gestures towards her but at her age she is going to be very unreceptive. I think you should just hold off with the scissors right now and keep a close eye on them. I have a feeling your breeder is right, this is just a phase. :) Good luck and keep us updated. |
