Does Yukon act this way with everyone who walks him, or only with you? Reason I ask is that our Balou is a Hoover also. He will walk with his head up only if off-leash and moving fast; otherwise, it's nose to the ground. We had our daughter handle him during his CGC. He was bright, alert HEAD

Hi Andie! If I were your friend and I found the information on neutering given to me by my breeder conflicting, I'd ask my breeder what he/she meant. Does she have a contractural obligation to neuter the dog? If so, it should be spelled out clearly. If it isn't, she should contact her
