Hi,

Our Vet (a large breed specialist, shows his own Mastifs) says 6 months to 1.5 years.

My wife, now this is funny!!   wants to wait until he lifts his leg, instead of squating.... to releive himself (why neutering would have anything to do with that I don't know).

The growth plates makes sense. Our Vet says earlier is better for other health reasons. So we'll wait a while but probably before 1.5 years old.

Then I saw the humping and hips thread  Now I'm totally confused

Hi,

Well Winslow is geting to that age when we have to think about Neutering  He weighed in at 72 pounds Monday night and will be 6 months on 12/28. Price goes up when he hits 90 pounds by $25.00, oh well cost of big bones 

We are pretty sure we won't be showing or breeding the boy so we think it is best to Neuter him.  What is the conventional Wisdom on age to take care of this.

Hi,

Grocery Bags don't Bio-Degrade in our liftime. and to carry 2 in your pocket requires large pockets. I just find these handy to have in the car or camper, or in the pocket on those longer walks where 1 grocery bag just might not be enough.

Oh and Wal Mart bags have never been cheap for me? Usually I find they cost in excess of a mortgage per trip to the store, but then again they are full when I get them ;-)

Hi,

Well a visit to His cousin Angels Split ranch for thanksgiving and next thing you know Winslow was up in the bedroom.

So Stairs are mastered!! Patients and no forcing!! He just wants to be where the action is

Hi,

I know the stones will be thrown at me, but Winslow has been doing very well on Science Diet Large Breed Puppy formula. He sees his vet every 2 months, his stool is solid and not soft. He is very regular and has been putting weight on as he is supposed too. He is happy, healthy and you can still feel his ribs ;-) like we are supposed to at his age.

So as long as you pay attention to your Pup, maintain a regular schedule with your vet and monitor the results of your feeding you really shouldn't be harming your dog with any food on the market.

If only we humans paid as much attention to what we eat, maybe we would be as healthy as our dogs.

Just like with yourself if you eat something that disagrees with you, you'll move on, so watch the pup if he doesn't like something he'll let you know.
