Default To fix or not to fix

Again I come to the salty Cajuns for dog advise... Probably should just pm Raymond... But anyways. I can't decide wether or not to get my lab fixed. I've surfed the Internet about it and alot of the sites say yes to control overpopulation or whatever.. But I don't know if it will effect a hunting dog in a negative way. I was just wondering what experiences any of you have had. Thanks again

I fixed one female. She was always a good dog, just got slower and slower every year.
She also gained weight, but not much. She looked a lot bigger than she weighed.
She got wide across her back and above her hips. But she only gained about 5 lbs.
I regretted it. Never fixed another one after that.
If you hunt a lot, you want them in tip top shape and with lots of energy.
I had mine fixed cause the somehow got bred when I was offshore. I don't know who
played that joke on me, but I didn't want it to happen again. She swoled up between splits.
I had no dog for the second split. This was when the limit was 10 ducks and I hunted 3 to my blind.
Might not need near as much energy with the limits they have now.

You are correct, you don't take someone that is Obese and let them loose at Golden Corral or Ryan's. Unfortunatley, there are plenty that run wild in those places.
I personally would wait until the dog is 2 before de-nutting or spaying a working animal.

not exactley what I meant, there are several nasty genetic problems that will continue to be problems with indiscriminate breeding. Breeding should not take place until a dog is 2 (can't certfy hips), and tested for genetic/eye issues.

Dogs that have been spayed will not stand for a Stud,they no longer come into season.
Kinda like women after you marry them or they have Kids
