Hi everyone,

In regards to accidental litters/mating is it not equally as important male dogs are neutered young as females?

Today I was speaking with people about Penny, who many of you know due to a big operation at around 4 months is being spayed after her first season as opposed to before any season.

I was discussing worrying about going camping in September Ive booked as she has not yet had her first season. I was discussing whether to take her with me and use bitch spray and nappies or whether to leave her with family. Im very responsible and would never have her off lead etc in a season, its my decision to make and will probably leave her at home for the 3 days if she is in season.

However I was told all dogs will come and mount her forcefully and get her pregnant from 3 miles around as thats how far they can smell a bitch in season from. ALSO its will stress out all the dogs around who arent neutered!!

However, what annoys me is why don't owners get their male dogs neutered as pups as well!!!!! Why is it just down to the owner of the female. I know many do but from that conversation and from reading some forums it seems the less of a responsibility to male owners than females. It should be equal.

I feel frustrated by the conversation.
