So, has anyone been able to confirm that their male is indeed a male yet? I've been looking at pictures of spurs on some pretty young males and appearantly an enlarged scale starts to appear at a very young age. I have not been able to find anything that says at what age the scales start to become visible, but I found a post from Bobby that shows the scales, though barely visible, on a male under 2'.

On Jango, I can't see anything that even looks like a spur, or even a slightly enlarged scale. I'm starting to get a little bummed. Even though Jango is beautiful and has a great disposition, I wanted a male.

[QUOTE="Quijibo, post: 54096, member: 1209"] So, has anyone been able to confirm that their male is indeed a male yet? I've been looking at pictures of spurs on some pretty young males and appearantly an enlarged scale starts to appear at a very young age. I have not been able to find anything that says at what age the scales start to become visible, but I found a post from Bobby that shows the scales, though barely visible, on a male under 2'. <a class="postlink" href="http://tegutalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3367&p=38764&hilit=spurs#p38764" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://tegutalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... urs#p38764</a> On Jango, I can't see anything that even looks like a spur, or even a slightly enlarged scale.
