Pipey Magregor 0 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Does it or will it realy effect a dogs prey drive or hunting instincts if it's castrated? I ask this because a friends JRT has been castrated ( it was done before he got him ) but his prey drive is very strong and when my pals Pat Bitch came into season he was still banging into her with all his worth lol. I thought the idea of getting them castrated was to calm them down abit amongst other obvious things, Is it unusual for my mates dog to act like this or does it often happen that castration doesn't make much of a difference to the dogs prey drive and eagerness to jump up the back of a bitch even if he has not spuds?

Hob&Jill 258 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) Castration removes the testicles,not the brain. BUT....testosterone poisoning DOES effect the brain. When the testicles are gone,the dog can concentrate on it's TRAINING! If you cant train a dog in its natural form then you shouldnt be owning one Edited June 23, 2007 by Hob&Jill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MOLLY Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 All castration does is stop their ability to father, nothing more nothing less, they will still fight, hump, work, train and be a dog the same as it would with them. MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I think what Kate is saying is that the drive to reproduce can and will over-ride anything you are trying to achieve with an entire dog .Take a pack out of mixed sex and if one of the bitches is in or coming in then forget any hunting.
