Humping help!

[emma21]

when I 1st took H along for his check nd vaccs I asked when to have him castrated and was taken aback with his reply....

I have to say if he has humping bitches I'd have him done. Don't think I'd hestitate. Be far too worried

Your dog is absolutly gorgeous The putting on weight side of things sounds rather good though! Will pop to vets tomo and talk to them about it, my poor boys balls OH will kill me though...boys and their bits!

Oh don't talk, all the lads at training still think it's really funny to wince and cross their legs when B walks past

My boy is still a skinny moo but better than he was. He still, very occasionally, tries to mount his sister when she is being a skank and standing for him when she is in season. He just looks annoyed and confused and falls off

I always thought a male dog's coat was only affected if the dog was neutered too young? I know that my pug was done at eight weeks (puppy mill dog) and his coat is like a Husky's.

Agree with the others that not all female dogs tolerate humping. My Boston terrier is the worst, as she flirts up a storm, permits them to get to third base and then snaps if they try to hump. And then she runs in circles, trying to get the poor male dog--usually whining by this point--to chase her.

Your dog is lovely I bet he's been in his element this winter (with the weather, I mean--not because he's has his way with the local bitch populace).

Hahaha! typical lads then...!!!

What is it with skinny boy doggies on here?! How old is your B now? I was told he was probably skinny because he got the GSD side of being skinny then bulking up?

Hahaha bless him!! well yuck, but ha dogs are oh so lovely!

8 weeks?! poor boy! oh his coat sounds lovely lol!

Bless her typical girly... But i think murphy needs to be told NO but none of the dogs round here will they all encourage which doesnt help!

Thank you i think so but im very biased he has loved it so much; his first ever snow and he goes mad, eats as much as he can then rolls then runs as fast as he can in circles...

Nope Prose the coat can go thicker, duller at all ages when done, but certain breeds u cannot tell so much, like frizzy haired breed, or say long coated akitas, my akita coat was the same before and after and so is the akitas I board, thingd like cavis, spaniels, u can tell signifigantly, but grooming regurlarly helps immensley, my mams long coated shep and her husky and mal there is no difference with their coat at all.
I board (was an X rescue, beardie X, he is a beautiful looking dogs and has straight as a die silky hair and it has never changed even when neutered.
I also boarded an old english sheep dog he was also neutered young, again no difference, he was mind u groomed at the parlour every 8 weeks and kept in full coat also.

Emma, he is three now, so about 18 months since the op. His sister will be spayed in the near future. I'd rather he was a skinny than a tubby

CC - Yup agree with skinny rather then tubby! bless him!

Spoke to 3 different vets today and all quoted about £150 for the castration. They did all say however that they would recommend waiting til he's at least a year old which is 2 months. One said it may well be a phase and he'd grow out of it...
