No where in any of the posts was it suggested to get this 11 week old pup neutered at a young age. I also do not believe in neutering/spaying too young.
To me it sounds like the OP got the pup from a BYB with full registration papers. He thinks he can breed his pup when he is older...yet does not believe in showing....even though he supposedly go a "show quality" puppy from the "breeder".

OP has no plans on doing anything with the pup, but feed, love and play with his pup.
I really don't care if he got a show puppy and he does not want to show it, or if he plans on getting the registration papers...what I care about is that he does not plan on BREEDING this untitled, unproven dog because he may want a puppy later.
An as far as having intact dogs...being no big deal to keep from breeding...we seem to have at least one new member here a week allowing their dog(s) to get pregnant. Must not be that easy for the average shmoe. Not everyone has the setup to keep their dogs intact.
