[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you rescue this doodle? Most breeders require you to neuter.[/quote]

OP here and no, he is not a rescue. Yes, the breeder did "request" that we neuter, although I'm not sure how that could ever be checked up on, let alone enforced. Regarding day care or boarding, as noted, I don't anticipate a need for that. [b]We have plenty of family here who would keep him when we go out of town.[/b]

I'm interested in the comment from the poster about waiting until he is two years old; maybe that is a compromise.

So far, every reason posted here has to do with what is best for pet owners, and their convenience. I haven't seen anything that indicates that this is in any way what is best for the dog.[/quote]

And you are 100% certain that none of those family members would ever let him escape?  Really?
Actually, OP, people have now pointed out that even show dogs are eventually spayed/neutered. There are arguments for waiting until age 1.5-2, but not forever.  
Shelters spay/neuter early because the risk/benefit for early spay/neuter vs many many additional litters of homeless animals comes down in favor of early. [/quote]
