Gizmo, my Chi was neutered at around 5 or 6 months and I have no "male behavior" issues with him...yet (he's still only 9 months old). My male Australian Shepherd, however, was neutered late...maybe around 10 months old. He tries to hump pillows and balled up blankets and such. My female Aussie is intact and when she goes into heat, my male (although neutered) goes nuts over her! He tries to mount her and has done so a number of times when we weren't looking. He even tied with her one time! Of course it didn't really matter because he couldn't produce puppies. But, I didn't know a neutered dog could tie to a female until that happened, LOL! So, I guess the bottom line is...boys will be boys, whether they are neutered or not. It really depends on the dog and probably depends on the age they were neutered. It's most likely best to neuter before their adolescence to avoid male dog behavior. Stefanie Stefanie
