Question:

: We have a 5 month old female jrt (LOVES to play with any dog), we will be bringing home a new male puppy in may or june. What can we expect even though she is so friendly? Will there be some aggression?
: Also, i've never had a male dog. Do they mark? Do you potty train the same as a female?

: Thanks for the help

Hi Susan, There isn't any way I can predict the future whether they are going to fight or if there will be aggression, no one can do this. Make sure that you have a contract with your breeder so that if any problems do arise that you can return the puppy and get a refund and please ask for this in writing. If the breeder isn't willing to do this please find another breeder.

Male dogs will mark, if they aren't neutered at an early age, to prevent this have the puppy neuter at 6 months and then he will not mark. Potty training is the same with a female as it is with a male.Please remember never compare the two puppies, no two are ever the same and I see a lot of people doing just this.
Regards
Linda
