To neuter or not

[Kelsey]

@Kelsey in my experience castration did not alter the "stiff body and words" only time and training. However, they were still well muscled, did not get fat and didn't think about sex all time. However they did continue with their maleness and Rourke could always tell the farmer when his bitch would be about to to come in season

That is good to know, thank you!

All dogs are different and I think you are the best judge of his temperament . Some dogs are very easily aroused and others aren't. Initially we did chemical castration. It did help but we wanted to give it time so we persevered after the chemical castratkon. I did not want to have him castrated due to the muscle tone and this helps with his weak elbows. However due to his porn star tendencies in our neighbourhood, his elbows were getting worse so we had him castrated. He has actually become slightly reactive to bigger dogs after his op which can happen. It is a very personal choice and we chose for health reasons and also combined that our neighbourhood has a high amount of dogs.

Thank you for your experience as well! I definitely understand living in an area with a high population of dogs. We need to do what is best for our dogs
