So we got a pandemic puppy last year from a decent'ish breeder. He turns 1 in a couple weeks and is intact. Due to our puppy being a large breed (he was 75 lbs about a month ago), we agreed not to neuter until he was at least 18 mo-2. But we don't have to neuter him at all per the contract/breeder. (I know also not ideal but it is really hard to find a good breeder with a reasonable spay/neuter agreement even for large breeds and vets more commonly recommending to wait at least a year for larger breeds now..a lot wanted them fixed by 6 mo which I was not ok with. ) Anyway our vet did recommend we wait until at least 1 so here we are. We fully intended to wait until 18 mo+ but we are starting to have thankfully minor issues with marking (not in our house but with the dog sitter) and excessively humping other dogs, etc. (We have worked with a trainer but he's super stubborn.) We are going out of town in early June so getting him neutered right after 1 in the next few weeks I think is our best plan but it would technically be violating the agreement. (That hubby didn't even sign if that matters ...) I know it might not magically undesired behavior but I am concerned it could get worse over the next 6 months. That said, there was not any repercussions in the contract for breaking it. And breeder lives 12 hours away so it's not like they would know. Thoughts?
