Re: [RC] Stallions - Boy dogs, OT - Kristene Smuts

Just a funny story about our old English Bulldog we had a few years ago.  He 
was the pick of the litter, but the rightful owner couldn't take him 'cos he 
was white and the guy lived in a very hot part of the country.  Obviously a 
male dog, but I also didn't treat him like they do those dogs - this dog was 
FIT!  Used to take him for long walks and runs around the lake with our Border 
Collie AND he was a huge dog, naturally, very muscular.  Unfortunately he 
started getting a bit tense around kids - don't have any of our own - and as 
kids tend to do, they would scream shrilly and run every time they saw him, 
which caused him to want to play, would chase them and knock them over, and 
well .........  So, I decided to "geld" him, which REALLY p*ssed him off!  
After he discovered that his prize possessions had been take from him without 
his consent, he really became unmanageable - had to put him down after a few 
months.

Moral of the story?  Think very carefully about gelding your stallion! ;-))
