i have one berner age 11, neutered at age 8 due to prostatitis. he was shown in conformation, not too successfully. (anyone who has seen me in the conformation ring could explain that!).
my rottweiler was spayed at age 3 mos - on a non-breeding contract. my mixed breed was neutered at 8 weeks. the 2 dogs i have owned that were the biggest leg lifters consistently throughout their lives were my one bernese bitch (spayed at about 6 mos) & the mixed breed. & the mixed breed is extremely dysplastic so it must be important to him to lift his leg, since it is a big effort. lisa baldwin (dickens, bark & zel) seattle, wa [EMAIL PROTECTED]
