A little dog advice please...

I think it changes EVERY dog differently. There's no telling what will happen lol He may turn into WonderDog.

Everytime I let my lab out he runs off. He just wonders around all the neighbor's yards and comes back when he gets hungry. Will snipping him help that?

[Duffy.yyz]

Snipping may help, but a few "come to Jesus" meetings will help that too.

Not trying to argue just stating my experience to the original poster which is the opposite of yours. Like I said glad it has worked out for you.

Duffy,
Here are a few myths that I found on the (AVMA) American Veterinarian Medical Assoc.

MYTH: I want my dog to be protective.
FACT: It is a dog's natural instinct to protect home and family. A dog's personality is formed more by genetics and environment than by sex hormones.

MYTH: I don't want my male dog or cat to feel like less of a male.
FACT: Pets don't have any concept of sexual identity or ego. Neutering will not change a pet's basic personality. He doesn't suffer any kind of emotional reaction or identity crisis when neutered.


MYTH: My pet will get fat and lazy.
FACT: The truth is that most pets get fat and lazy because their owners feed them too much and don't give them enough exercise.

Are you the Rusty with the boarding kennel off Pinhook Rd in Lafayette?
If so, I used to board my Rott with you and he always talked about what a good time he had.

[rustyb]

Yes K-9 Security. I sold it years ago. Sold it to a couple Vets in Lafayette.

ive been told that its healthier for dogs to be fixed. Is this true?

[rustyb]

The health concerns in males are testicular cancer. In females one of the main concerns is ovarian cancer. I cant say how high the risk are. So eliminating those concerns would make it healthier. But most people have em fixed for the most obvious. No puppies, no heat cycles, no roaming......
