Not sure if we know for a fact if the majority of dogs are neutered before hormones start to affect personality. Just wondering, are vets required by law to report all neuters and the age of the dog/bitch? |
Your views are anecdotal. There are too many variables. I don't think we can just point out our experiences as being proof of something.
I also have a lot of experience with spay/neuter and I don't think I could comment one way or the other about behaviors after
I look forward to seeing what Phil says about these studies that were done.
