• How old is he? We had to have ours done because he was a nuisance/sex pest but I think it affected his confidence.

  • He's 10 months - I've heard that if you leave it too long the problem behaviours become ingrained and the snip doesn't really fix them. Dunno how true this is.

  • Not true at all, I had my older lab done when he was 3, he was becoming aggressive to my other dogs and I had no intention of breeding from him. It was a last resort, but problem solved.

  • Some vets contest that it is nonsense. I assume that this is based on some sort of evidence.

    However, I sometimes meet people in the park who insist that their dogs were never the same after the op. I generally tend to take these stories with a pinch of salt. I mean, most people have their dogs done while they are adolescent so perhaps the dog just changed as it matured?

    One thing I have noticed about dog owners since owning a dog, is that everybody is a dog expert and few people agree on anything :D
