Yeah, the thing is that if one dog marks in the house the others including the female will at some point or another mark over them and so on

The lab is a male and not fixed I take it? Your little guy is most upset defending his harem. lol One thing - as they get older they get lazy. My old neutered [because he roamed] collie would just stand to pee - no leg lift. ;) - maybe no marking either. _____ From: Cindy Dawson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, November 15, 2010 8:04:12 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] fixing a dog Thank you for the advice. I have a Dalmatian who is fixed but he was never breed. and he dos,nt mark in the house. and he like a oversize Chihuahuas. I just want rocky to stop marking and he never did that in tell we got the lab puppy. _____ From: Jacqueline Crawley-Ewing <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, November 15, 2010 4:47:51 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] fixing a dog My dad was a Vet - he alwasy thought it was a shame to neuter the male but if there are aggression or wandering & maybe the marking too - but I'm not sure about that last one, as we never had that happen even when the Sckipperkes were breeding [I have heard of this in the Chi world though so you aren't alone] He had 2 collies for years - Mitzi was neutered & Bruno not. They never mated - Bruno was faithful and always there as the guard dog & Mitz was the people/work dog. In her later years Mitzi had hormone therapy - it gave her back her pep. I would neuter the females for sure & if Mr doesn't stop I'd neuter him too. Maybe your Vet can help you think it through if he/she isn't too money crazy. _____ From: Cindy Dawson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, November 15, 2010 4:10:45 PM Subject: [Chihuahuas] fixing a dog [2 Attachments] I have three Chihuahuas. a male (Rocky) and a female ( Mia). and they had two batches of puppy the first time four baby and the last time they had one. we kept a puppy out of there first batch a female Sadie . and now I think were done with puppy's. my Male Rocky is now marking all over the house seen my Husband got a male Lab who is out side most of the time. My Husband think we should just fix Mia . he afraid fixing Rocky will change his personal ate and he will still mark in the house. so I want to know if you fix a male dose it stop them from marking in the house. I want to fix all three seen I already have three beautiful baby that are very loved (my family say spoiled.) what do you think. what best .
