      What's people's thoughts on dog neutering? My boy is coming up to 11months so it can be done. The vet is all keen but I am sure she is.as it isn't cheap.
      He isn't showing any aggression, he does plenty of sniffing and pissing on walks which can make it job walking him in the lead. But I dunno I guess there is part of me that thinks, that is how he is, he is meant to have nuts so who I am to cut them off.

        I feel like it's the responsible thing to do, unless you're intending to breed him.  All my pets have been spayed or neutered.

            I feel very strongly that there are so many unwanted animals out there badly in need of a home, that all pets should be adopted, and then spayed or neutered. Overpopulation of pets is almost as big of a problem as it is for humans. (Almost.) Your dog will not even register a difference after he's healed from surgery.

              I adopt and it's one and done for me - all my babies are fixed.  They are all happy, healthy, content, no issues.  Seeing all the homeless animals gives me a heavy heart.  Honestly I don't think they worry about it much after it's done and they are healed up.  But who knows what dogs are "thinking"?

                I'm with the argument for neutering, my boy is done and he doesn't seem overly concerned by it.

                  We took Leo to the pet superstore to get some treats after his latest vaccination, this was how he thanked us. Classy Leo, real classy.

                  The first and last time we took our Bull Terrier to pets at home he almost wrecked the joint!
                  He also came away with a free ball, didn't see it in his mouth till I pit him in the back of the car!

                    yeah i guess i feel this too. Just don't want it to change him or effect him in a negative way

                      I was pretty much the same after I got neutered.  😞

                            He isn't showing any aggression

                            For what it's worth, just because he's not aggressive right now, doesn't mean he won't turn aggressive later on if he's left intact. We have a pretty active dog park, and almost all the intact males are aggressive

                            The owners are usually pretty conscious of it, and keep their dogs away from the puppies since the puppies usually haven't been spayed yet

                            Now the docking of the tails I'm really against. Both my Rottweilers have been docked and I regret tolerating it (they always come that way from the breeder in the States), though it's not their fault and they're as sweet as can be

                                    Oh, and I haven't seen one of those old paper IH bags for a while.  Looks like the cat has it broken in nicely.
