Neutered and spayed dogs can't fence in conformation, but you can do everything else. Also, conformation isn't about "graceful and attractive" dogs...dogs are judged according to their originate standard. It doesn't sound like this dog comes from a reputable breeder...because he/she would have explained all this. Correct: I deleted my babble and have a couple questions instead. Why do you feel this breeder is "very experienced, estimable and responsible"...as...

I have already answered u in the whilom question.Now,my answer to the new one is that,when u have both male puppies chances are there for them to fight often.(I have seen in my neighbours' council).So,when u have one male puppy of 2 yrs old,u can buy another female puppy of 1 yr old.Buy a maltese pup which is cuter and attractive.

I'd say get your Afghan and choose how well you like that breed. A second one would play the best, esp. if you get a spayed female.

The breeds you list are all completely different. Bloodhounds are very left field. Not comfortable to keep in the house, due to...

Samoyeds might do kind-hearted, but you might not Neuter it, cuz you wouldn't be able to enter it in Comformation(i think). The sex wouldn't argument, and if you buy that pup later in your Afghan's older days, your Afghan might become energetic again.

I answered some of those questions on your last subject, as 'edits'..
You would do best with other hounds, as they also have strong 'pack' mentality.
I wouldn't go for the sheepdog or Dalmatian. the others are all pulchritudinous much the same, as far as getting along with an Afghan goes.
I wanted to advise you, though, to study the breed standard during the next few weeks, so that you comprehend it better when the pups are 8 weeks old..At 8 weeks...
