At least give him 1 time, then get the snip done.. And Maybe you could get 'pick of litter' after nature takes it's course...

snafu said:A mate has a 5yo male kelpie that will hump anything that stays still long enough to be mounted, nothing to do with procreation, it's just humping mad, dogs, cats, hay bales, human legs etc. He asked the vet if having it nutted would change the dog's behaviour and the vet said that it might and it might not - some dogs just keep on humping for many years after being nutted. So, my mate decided that he wouldn't go to the expense only to find out that his hound was still a humping maniac after the snip.
As for ******* having a litter before being spayed, it has been said that there is a chance they will lose just a little bit of love & devotion towards their owners after the litter, but the jury is still out on that.
I don't subscribe to the theory 'that everything on this planet should experience the full cycle of life insofar as is possible and therefore that they should procreate and have offspring'. I have some bogan neighbours who definitely should not be allowed to breed and the extremely high number of dogs that are put down each year by councils and RSPCA because of irresponsible breeding is increasing at an alarming rate.
