Your third cousin is the great-grandchild of your great-great-aunt or great-great-uncle. You share a set of great-great-grandparents with your third cousin, but do not have the same great-grandparents. Fourth cousins have one set of great-great-great-grandparents, but not the same great-great-grandparents.
A male dog can be neutered any time after eight weeks of age. A few years ago, most veterinarians advised waiting until puberty hit at about six months, and some still make that recommendation. Talk to your veterinarian about whatâs best for your dog.
Puberty in dogs can range anywhere from 6 months to 24 months depending upon the breed, with larger breed dogs maturing later than small breeds. Significant behavioral problems, as well as accidental breedings, can be avoided if neutered between 6 and 12 months.
