Good morning!
So while our male EM is only 4 months old, we're trying to decide whether or not we want to get him neutered, o rif we want to breed him eventually. The vets of course keep advising that we should be scheduling his neutering as soon as possible and to have his stomach tacked (or whatever the proper term is) at the same time. We would like to breed him at some point, but we aren't 100% set either way. I'm not familiar with all of the pro's and con's with breeding out a male dog, when to neuter, stomach tacking, etc. What are your thoughts? How old should he be before he can be bred? Is it more strongly advised NOT to breed, and to get him neutered at 1 year or so? Does anyone have experience with the stomach tacking procedure?
Any information would be greatly appreciated
