 Spaying a bitch is a major operation Neutering a Siberian should generally be considered as a last resort - to be carried out to resolve severe cases of false pregnancy for instance, rather than as a convenience or as a solution for behavioural problems such as inter-male aggression. While there are many reasons given for neutering, you should bearing mind that one of the main outcomes will be the ruination of your dog's coat. This is not something which most vets will warn you about, but consider it seriously. The overgrown and overthick coat that comes after neutering is extremely hard to look after and will certainly make running inharness a hotter business for the dog.The only justifiable reason for neutering either sex (other than a medical one) is if this allows you household to live together more peacefully by avoiding seasons, but you should watch your timing since it is possible to "lock" a bich into a false pregnancy if she is spayed while this is going on. |
