bird 9,870 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 i meet few people on my dog walks , with entire males. seen bloke and his wife yesterday with 4 border collies all males , 2 were ok friendly , a young dog about 18 months old nice temp, bit submissive if anything , but nice young dog , and they had one who was kept on a lead who was bit sharp with dogs . got talking to them , and they said you not had your male dogs done ,? i was quite puzzled really , said what for they not dog aggressive , they dont go pissing off after bitches in heat, and not aggressive to people , and not trying to mount thing all the while. i told them in fact having males dogs different breeds now over 45 years , never had any probs, if they did start anything that i didnt like i nip it in the bud there and then. i told that young collie there, you will make more submissive , by having it nuts off, any bit confidence etc it might have will be gone once it been done , i said i wouldn't have him done if he was my dog. the only time i have it done if it was affecting the dogs health (cancer ) etc , or only as last option if after firm training and the dog was playing up, but still be reluctant . bloody hell we had dogs and bitches in the same house, and only was a prob for 2 weeks a year rest of the time no probs. anyway that's what i think. 2 Quote Link to post
Casso 1,261 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Couldn't agree more, big push to castrate and to keep dogs in general under energetic threshold, drug if energy levels get too high and socializize as young as possible as if you don't the pup will never adjust and become a rehab case, Seen it now in hunting mags , I have never socialised any dog big or small just focus them on their job in hand and have had zero issues with any of them , I have met people who can't walk their castrated socialised mutts in daylight because they are so f***ing reactive to harmless encounters to other dogs 1 Quote Link to post
billhardy 2,342 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Ya right ray any unwanted traits can be nipped I the bud early on ,but with mostly ignorant folk that at times ain't got a clue believe in any little upset means castration ,fecking madness ain't it. i have a old friend top trained on the border collies goes all over the world judging etc,he had his fecking done lol working with half a male then fecking laughable ain't it then I have a old friend with a once in a life time f1alsation grey bitch she fecking loves teeth the heavier the better he had it fecking done fecking unbelievable. Fecking idiot and I told him so could not contain myself .lol he don't come see me anymore so he can go feckin truth he ain't got no ball either atb bunnys.atbbunnys. Quote Link to post
planete 120 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Many pet owners are not clued up enough to manage a dog left entire so perhaps not such a bad thing. I have not asked the dogs opinion though. Quote Link to post
Casso 1,261 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 There's a whole heap of unmanageable castrated mutts out here, chopping off its nuts shows a complete misunderstanding of aggression because on that note no bitch should have any aggressive issues without testosterone flowing through its system 4 Quote Link to post
Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I've never had a dog castrated, never will. f***ing waste of breeding stock for a start. 3 Quote Link to post
planete 120 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I completely agree with you Casso but when owners are unable to keep a dog under control I prefer them to be unable to contribute to the numbers of accidental litters ending up in rescue or dumped in ditches. I actually believe castrating can make a timid dog more aggressive. Human failings are the problem not dogs. 1 Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 4,092 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I had to have my American bulldog castrated due to a medical problem,and must admit he's a lot better around other male dogs since the op. Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 There's many reasons to get an animal neutered ,and maybe neutering pet dogs that have no need to breed is a good idea but being dominant or aggressive ,aint. It won't cure that. 1 Quote Link to post
kjmkjm 24 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Ive been reading about the right age to do the chop, if at all. Seems alot of people are talking bout it changing the development of the dog, both mentally and physically. Ive been told if I choose do it, I should wait till at least 24months? Anyone agree?

kerryb 101 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 My first dog was a c@nt for fighting and he wasn't even very good at it so I had him done on advice all it did was make him go grey around his muzzle at 18 months old and he continued trying to take on everything and usually get mullered.
