Yes we figured we will wait until he is at least two before we make any decisions on neutering him.
I can understand why you might want to neuter a female but a male? Agree you need to wait. Most of the reasons advanced to neuter come from groups with an agenda but without solid science. Generally speaking the health risks of neutering outweigh any benefits and there is no effect on behavior. In my experience, having an intact male Basenji never presented any issues at all. Unless you just let your dog roam free I can't think of a single good reason to do it.
Ok - sure. I know she's in the middle of moving right now - not certain where to, but the last I knew, has only until the end of the month & still has to fence the new yard & all. Maybe she had her link removed for that reason?
@lvoss:
If you can find a copy, I would recommend trying to get a hold of a copy of the Basenji Stacked and Moving by Robert Cole. They are no longer in print and can get quite expensive but every so often you can luck upon a copy that is reasonably priced.
Here is an online copy: http://www.basenjiclubofcanada.com/BCOC-BobCole.html
