As a buyer of a pup, I intend to neuter, period. I preferr females as they arent marking car tires and bushes. I meet with the breeders, examine the pedigree's, get a over-all impression of the kennel and make a decision. I buy the best pup meeting my expectations, and the AKC standards, good bite and with a health guarantee, glad to pay the going price. When someone asks about my dog, I am proud to referr them to the kennel I bought from.
My dog will be in a hunting situation, live in the house and never be registered or bred. I do not compete or show dogs. But I want a top quality pup, not a back yard breeding.
Why register a dog thats neutered, not shown, or wont compete? Waste of money.
