Ok so I should been clearer, I was trying to say that if a dog was going to mark, neutering won't stop it and that is pretty much what you are saying also The other thread was about how to stop the marking once it stopped. I found that thread interesting. Some people believe you can't stop it but you can, you just have to be on your toes a lot, so to speak Sheila

But, I guess it has come up again. You can't really say that a male dog will mark no matter if they are neutered or not. It depends on the dog. I have a neutered male Aussie who will mark outside and on walks. He will also mark in other people's homes sometimes, depending what dogs they have there (male/female/fixed/not fixed). He will mark for male or female, neutered or unneutered. But....he NEVER marks in my home, even when my 2 intact females are in heat. I don't think it matters whether a male dog lives with a male or female, fixed or unfixed. From my experience, I believe it depends on the male dog himself and what habits he has learned. Males don't only mark for female dogs. They mark for other reasons as well. More often than not, a male and female (neutered and spayed) can live together in harmony with no marking, ect.

And I assume her male is fixed, too. Inside marking is unlikely if both dogs are fixed. Stef address2000 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Butttttttt a female may cause the male to start marking. Stefanie Brannan wrote: Any type of dog should be fine as long as they get along. Why not try to find a small mixed breed at a shelter or rescue? There are many, many out there needing homes. As far as male vs. female, it all depends on your dog. Two males can get along great but males and females tend to get along better, IMO.

My husband and I are thinking about getting another dog to keep him company when we are not home. My husband wants to get a different type of dog. Does anyone have any recommendation as to what type of dog to get and if getting a male or a female would be better. We have no intentions on breeding. _____ Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
