Who would want to date a eunuch? The cartoon should have said "tell her you are a gentle, sensitive Rottie and studly!". That would get results.

On a more serious note, since we were not interesteed in the show ring nor breeding, we decided to have Drover nuetered when the vet told us that this could have the effect of prolonging his age. The other two Rottweilers we had, Ajax and Atlas, only made it to five and six respectively and they were not neutered.

I have heard the same thing, gorillagaurd. That dogs live longer and are healthier if they are not going to breed and are fixed. They can get cancer in the reproductive organs. And I'm sure there are other problems as well.

TJ, my first Rottie, was neutered at the age of two. He missed his eleventh birthday by two months. Ifrit, whom we had rescued at 10, was neutered many years before we got him. He lived to 15! I had Buddha neutered at about three or four months. Can't really remember when, but it was done as a puppy. Reason behind it was easy. There were 12 in his litter. If each pet only had one litter and each had 12, that would have been 144 more dogs and probably only one third would live to a ripe old age. So I thought of Buddha's future and had him neutered.

Something to think about. The owner of my horse's father told me that when he wasn't breeding as much, he started colicking often. Colicking is when a horse gets an upset stomach. It can happen for various reasons. So she had him gelded (horse's equivalent of being nuetered).

You are right on Wild E.

A friend of ours had a nice stallion and he frequently got colic. Very serious with lots of vet attention required.

My horse, Shazam, a big bay gelding had more than enough pep for me. He was five when I got him. He stayed nice and lean and sometimes I had to lunge him before riding because he was so frisky. I doubt if I could have handled him had he still been a stallion.

Some stallions are very calm. But most aren't. Gelding does calm them down alot. Just like how the personality of dog's change when they are nuetered. They calm down also.

Lucky is a good example of that. He made a big change and wasn't as dominating afterward. Really settled him down.
