Another point, a veterinarian helping me to convince friend to neuter his purebred rottweiler, explained that it was more unnatural for a dog (male or female) capable of breeding, but never allowed to do so than to 'fix' the animal who enjoys a bigger life and doesn't know what he/she is missing! My friend "got" that, got over that common guy thing, and sensibly neutered his dog. |
I think the dogs prefer to be called hybrids, lol. Actually, they don't care, as long as you love em.
The common guy thing, is the misnomer that you're taking away the dog's sex life by neutering them. But neutering/castration only affects primates.
Other animals actually have a "bone."
Years ago my sister had a dog neutered. She came home to the boy & girl going at it again & thought the surgery went wrong.
