Hi everyone,
I have a rather strange question.
We are adopting a puppy who is AKC registered (or the litter is so we'll be registering him). I'm interested in field trials as well as obedience and agility trials (provided the pup is also interested in these as well ). My question is, where does the AKC stand on neutering? I believe that to particpate in conformance the dog has to be intact but I can't find anything that says whether or not they have to be intact for field, obedience and agility. I plan on neutering the little guy since I have no intention of breeding him but will this prevent us from competeing (if he decides he wants to, of course).
Thanks!
