Older Intact Male Question.....

[Brooke&Ryan]

In another thread that Ryan had posted regarding neutering Julius (http://www.rottweiler.net/forums/sho...threadid=30098) it was stated:

I was just re-reading the thread & came across this. Is this an important thing to do if you have an intact male as they get older & how does one go about "collecting"?? I'm just curious since we will be getting Julius neutered but not sure when. I've just never heard of this before & would like more info. At what age is this suggested??

Thanks everyone!!
