Re: What is the purpose of crating?
I have a question regarding crating methods. I brought home a 5 month old English setter Saturday. He is actually doing great--wonderful dog, smart and keen to do anything I tell him.

Re: When to Neuter / Undescended Testicle
Oh yeah. I talk to the breeder several times a week almost, even though I don't get the dog until this weekend. Regardless, I don't plan on neutering him until he's at least a year.

When to Neuter / Undescended Testicle
Hello. I will be bringing home a 18-19 week old English Setter this coming weekend. I have a question regarding neutering. His breeder said that he shouldn't be neutered until 12 months old, because he will still be developing until then. When I was growing up, we always neutered/spayed our dogs ear...
