Thanks you guys.

One question my vet was saying to castrate at 1 week old, now from anything I have read on this or other site, I am seeing 8 weeks.

Any thoughts anyone.

Castrating at a week will seriously increase his risk for developing urinary calculi. I'd wait until he's at least 8 weeks -- if not older.

(Personally, I think someone oughtta do some studying on castration by *weight* to see if breeding past a certain weight is more helpful in preventing urinary calculi than castrating at 8wks...but that's me.)

Yep that may well be a good idea.
