Re: dog care
 

bad for him :)

I think it's always best to neuter them, that way there's no chance of them humping the vicars leg when he comes round for tea

Re: dog care
 

Neuter him, he will be happier for it.

Re: dog care
 

Hmm might be best to let him breed first, I am sure we have all heard stories about dog's getting their revenge later :Yikes: :D

Re: dog care
 

In what way???

Re: dog care
 

Unless you intend to breed him (obviously, not you personally), I would recommmend neutering.

Pros&Cons

Re: dog care
 

By doing the same to you, as your going to do to him, whilst your asleep in a chair ;)

btw I am not being serious thousands of dogs get the 'chop' every year and nothing untoward ever happens, although I have heard a couple of news reports where it has happened, one in particular was a collie, the owner said the dog had never liked him since he took him to the vet's and it was as if he had been waiting years to get his own back

Re: dog care
 

ok so im slow tonight

Re: dog care
 

Another advantage of neutering is it may well stop any roaming problem and it should not be a hugely expensive operation either.

Re: dog care
 

Not worried about the cost .
After your views on it

Re: dog care
 

You will be doing him a favour

Re: dog care
 

so far every one thinks its a good thing for him

Re: dog care
 

is it only me that thinks a Tick asking about dog care is funny ;)

Re: dog care
 

I'd be p***ed off if someone neutered me! :erm:

But seriously i think it's a good idea to do it to him. :)

Re: dog care
 

Could be sore for a few days ;)

Re: dog care
 

Yer, brings back memories of my zipper when i was about 9 years old! :Yikes:

Re: dog care
 

:rofl: I am now walking away from the thread :D

Re: dog care
 

Sorry for hijacking. ;)

Re: dog care
 

No stay i want answers or views

Re: dog care
 

eewwwwww you want a view :p:

Re: dog care
 

If you watch the dog programmes - unless you intend breeding, then its best to neuter now. Both socially, (prevents unwanted dogs), and socially (prevents agressive behaviour).

Re: dog care
 

Thank you that was the sort of answer i wanted .
Have made mind up to have him done .
Was looking for advice from people who no

Re: dog care
 

well had my bitch neutered people said it will change her,
its rubbish she,s just the same as she was as loving as ever ,and no mess when she was in season

Re: dog care
 

Neutering is definitely the best route - unless you intend to breed (which I personally do not advocate in the slightest when there are rehoming centres bursting with dogs in need of good homes), there is no need whatsoever for your dog to be 'entire'. It won't change anything apart from him wanting to roam, or humping strangers legs....neither of which are a loss really! You'll be a good, responsible dog owner by doing this. :tu:

Re: dog care
 

off with em then?

Re: dog care
 

I recommend:-

1 x Reasonable lenght of string,
2 x Sticks
1 x Hanky
and a visit to the park.

Method:-

Fristly, Insert stick 1 of 2 into ground and 90 degrees to the horizontal,
Then attach one end of string to Stick in Ground,
Then attach the other end of stick to the dogs knackers,
Finally, throw Stick 2 of 2 as far as you can.

Apply hanky to the underside of dogs eyes.

Re: dog care
 

:Yikes:

Re: dog care
 

Sound a cheap method
Don't think the wife would let me use it.
Of to give the vet some more money then.

Re: dog care
 

Or you could just use 2 bricks :D

Re: dog care
 

Umm... I certainly wouldn't be.

Re: dog care
 

:Yikes: what makes you think that ????:disturbd:

Re: dog care
 

Don't suppose you are a real dog and no by the way;)

Re: dog care
 

nope not a real dog. although my GSD (albert) is, he was booked in for the snip at two year old, but never went through with it. It was something in the way he looked at me as we walked into the vets.....:cry: like he knew what was about to happen

Re: dog care
 

Our Zak is an entire 8 year old male staffie and he's becoming a handful. I'm all for castration but OH says as he wouldn't like it done to him, he won't do it to the dog. I've tried gathering all the information i can to change his mind - i just hope he comes to his senses one day particularly as the dog has taken more of a liking to him, than me ;)

Re: dog care
 

Just tell the vicar to fake an orgasm the dog will stop then:D
