pinguu 169 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 What is your opinion on spaying bitches, does it affect their working temperament? I'm toying with having my bull x spayed, this is purely because I have no interest in breeding my dog or for any accidental mating to occur. I prefer to get my dogs from well bred stock from lads that have a strong line a good reputation. I personally don't want to add to the unwanted population of lurchers and certainly don't want to make a quick buck by re homing pups to any bob n Mildred. As I said though my main concern is by spaying her am I going to affect her hunting instincts through changes in hormones etc? Cheers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
