First off,if Tally hasn't been spayed,then I suggest you have her spayed.Second,If you decide to get a male in the next year,then I would have him neutered.To be honest,IMO there is no need to have him as a stud dog.Unless you plan on showing him to Chmpion,and having him heath and genetic tested.Many reputable breeders that I know,including mine have a s/n and a non-breeding contract.I was on a neuter contract with my boys.This meant that if I didn't have them neutered at 6 month,I would have been sued for $5000(canadian) for each dog.A non-breeding contract means you cannot breed unless the dog has been shown to breed standard.And only then can the breeder take you off it.

As for Tally excepting another,I can't see why not.Has she been socialized with other dogs?

Ok I just read that she will probably be spayed by the time the next one comes.Why wait,have it done now.
