Re: [RC] Stallions - Boy dogs, OT - Roo GrubisUnfortunately 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. Sorry, it just doesn't work that way. Neutering a dog can certainly have a fairly immediate and pronounced effect on certain behaviors (marking, roaming, interest in bitches, etc.), and can, sometimes, take some of the edge off a dog's boisterousness, but it isn't going to miraculously teach a dog how to behave properly around children. It's also not going to cause the dog to become unmanageable out of spite--it's not the dogs who obsess about the presence or absence of their parts, it's the owners. Just a funny story about our old English Bulldog Not sure where the "funny" part of this story is. A dog was euthanized because of a lack of training and/or improper management. Maybe I'm missing something.
