Neutering won't solve the problem on it's own, but it's good for your little guy for many reasons. Not the least of which he'll be less likely to attempt escape when there is a dog in heat in the area. THAT can be problematic! Plus, they are less likely to hump, mark, can't develop testicular cancer, won't impregnate the neighbors dog, etc.... check out this link: http://www.doghause.com/spay.asp for more info Also, do a search on this site and you'll find more info. Belly bands work great, especially when visiting. Tiger's mom makes great ones that are not expensive. Any male dog I ever had has been neutered, and it didn't seem to change their personality at all. Now, of course, it was always done when they were pups, but Mr. Bailey is young, right? |

Cats tend to be lazy creatures anyway and Cockers are total chow hounds that tend to over eat. I had an unneutered Tom that basicalley all he did was sleep when he was here the rest of the time he prowled. I'm been around neutered male dogs all my life and none were overweight. It helps with the marking, the humping, the desire to stray, cancer, and agressive behavior. They are still energetic and playful. But their mind is not focused on breeding. If you don't plan to breed then there is no reason not to neuter. |
Here's a couple more sites with good info about neutering: http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/Dumm...e/id-1924.html http://personal.cfw.com/~dtratnac/neuter.htm Good luck!!! |

My Cocker did not over eat. We didn't "free feed" with her and only gave her the recommend amount of quality food that she was supposed to have per day, so she was not "a chow hound", and she was NOT overweight before being spayed. I had her for over 11 years so being able to tell the difference after she was spayed was not hard. Even my vet noticed the difference in her weight, and personality change. Also, Stedman is not by ANY MEANS aggressive. Not trying to be rude or start a fight here, just stating the facts because I know my pets ;) Thanks for your opinion though. |
We've always had male dogs - in fact, everyone in my family has always had male dogs. In my life, we've had 8 male dogs in my immediate family, all of which were neutered. Only one had a slight personality change in that he became a little less hyper? but after changing his diet, he gained his energy back. None of them have been overweight or anything like that, but I'm sure that changes like that are individual to each dog. My pup, Ferdinand, isn't neutered but he will be on 2/8/07. We'll see how he reacts and if he stops marking (he's almost 8 months old). We weren't going to neuter him at first because we were going to stud him but decided not to for fear of personality change, aggressive behavior, etc. |
