Thank you. Well the last show I have entered them into is in October and they will not be 6 months old until the end of October. I am certaily willing to wait longer if the breeders agree, so I shall discuss it with them when i see them.

As neutering seems to affect the appearance of the males more than the females from what people have said, I shall get my girl speyed first and allow my boy to mature on a bit. He is turning into a chunky lad already and has put on quite a bit of weight in the last couple of weeks.

Thanks for your comments & advice everyone
