Tibbe is hyper! He is more of a bouncer than Tigger! He barks a lot. I love him bouncing all over, having his big say about whatever goes on moment to moment. He's trained to quieten when I can't take it but largely, I let Tibbe be Tibbe and enjoy his doggie ways. I got a tiger by the tail when I got him and neutering didn't change a thing about him. Some aggressive males with dominant traits or male dogs that mark, I've long heard it said by vets & those that should know, that neutering helps them settle into a normal male dog's life. But as for Tibbe, didn't change anything I can perceive. If he were any more active & engaged than he is, I would have to have a dog-helper in - LOL!!! He's always had a zest for living that removing testicles didn't touch!
Jilly was a soft little love of a girl who was a joy to be around, a proper little lady with absolutely no bad habits, happy, totally lacking in any nerves or behavioral problems and after 6 1/2 years of knowing all her traits, I had her spayed and noted absolutely no change except the loss of the trials of heat cycle and the pregnancy/cancer fears. She lived to be 12 1/2.
