watchman 256 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 i recently took on a pet mutt/house dog what ever he is a staffy mix of some sort but anyway with having lurcher bitches i thought id do the right thing,(dont want any accidental litters enough of those about),and get him done,the lurchers are kenneled and he has the free run of the place but at times when we are mooching about i just wanted to make sure nothing un toward happened behind my back. so today made a few calls to vets for prices,the best price i was offered was £130,the most expensive was £170,now i know its easy to say if you cant afford to pay out for your dog you shouldnt have one but bloody hell its hardly advocating responsible dog ownership with those prices is it? must admit i thought it would be around £70,more than acceptable if you ask me,anyway his nuts are staying which im sure he will be very pleased to hear. on another note my missus thought it best just as a precaution to stop him trying it on with dominance issues but iv heard it makes no difference to their behaviour anyway is there any truth in this as a lot of people obviously think this is the case Quote Link to post Share on other sites
