I want the puppy to develop masculine characteristics, what do you suggest I do?
Full Question:
You are an expert and I would appreciate your advice. I have an intact female and male and a 9 month old male. I want the puppy to develop masculine characteristics and wonder if:1. He should be alone with my female [in separate crates] when she is in heat, which will be any day.
2. Even though he doesn't interact with my highly alpha male, will being in the same house/kennel decrease development of optimal testerone levels?
3. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you. I have not been able to find anything about this on line.

Cindy's Answer:
Dogs develop physically according to their genetic potential and as long as you don't neuter him early, he will develop properly.
You can't manipulate the environment to make him become more masculine, it's not the way physical development works.
Proper diet, exercise and genetics determine a dog's physical appearance, not if he is in the company of a female in season or around other males.
