:D iluvrotts,

Here in France if a dog is listed with the Kennel club NOBODY neuters (rotts I mean) for work....like ringsport and Sch etc...Mine is whole and a beautiful bundle. Just my two cents' worth...your pup is starting to enter that obnoxious teen age period where he's showing his mettle (?). Don't let him choose, just say no or stop. Secondly, dogs can not see well and night and tend to get a little "spooked" when they're younger. He'll just have to learn what he can and can't do and maybe he doesn't need to stay outside alone at night? Or does he live outside?

I'd say that even if you wanted to do agility, you should definitely start obedience classes cause he has to really listen for that sport (although here in France agilitists are known for having dogs that don't listen 100% of the time. They think they're all so nice and friendly.....let them all run and play together which doesn't always work for a rott);)
