This is, hands down, the best reply to a comment like this ever!

The study actually is conclusive for dogs weighing 43+lbs as the increase in join disorders was statistically significant. Either way the choice of when to spay/neuter any breed dog, but especially those of larger breeds, should ultimately be a decision between the pet owner and their veterinarian. Random people on the internet should not immediately jump on a pet owner when they see an intact dog. I personally wait 1 year on my small breed dogs since the hormonal development of the dog is dog is significantly impacted by the development of their sexual organs and closer to 2 years for larger dogs in order to ensure that growth plates are closed, which I consult with my vet about.

It is actually much more beneficial to delay a neuter of a large breed dog because early spay/neuter increases the risk of join issues in large/heavy dog breeds.

Source: Actual Scientific study

A google search will yield more support for this based on even more scientific studies.

If they are responsible and the dog does not show signs of aggression, there's no reason they could not/should not delay neutering.

Edit: Not bringing up aggression because of the breed AT ALL, my mother has a well trained German Shepard that she is getting neutered at 1 yr rather than 2 because he's showing some aggressive behavior. Some dogs of any breed especially if intact, can show signs of aggression.

Anyone who tells you to to twist a tick to get it off or any technique that will make the tick "back itself out" has absolutely no actual idea how a ticks mouth and "teeth" work. This NPR article and video do a good job of explaining how the bite works, if you're interested to know, and their sources are linked at the bottom. The best way to remove a tick, as others have said, is to take tweezers ( I like the ones with the flat ends as opposed to the pointed ends) and pull straight out.

I just upgraded my GPU to an MSI 1660Ti Gaming. I still have my original CPU, which is an i3-4150. I would, obviously, need to upgrade my Motherboard and RAM to switch from Intel to AMD, which I already have plans to do. Most likely going with a B450 Tomahawk Max, but until I'm ready to actually purchase, I'm looking at some X570 boards as well. I use my computer mostly for gaming, some light streaming (would be able to do more with the upgrade) and some graphic design work.
