Four mos old dogs don't have style... they just run like hell!!! That little bit of extra drive the pup may have could make or break him in FF and basics.Angie B said:Oh Shayne,,, You mentioned belt ya Baby!!!!!!!
Anyway.....
One will never change temperment..... It is what it is..... If one has a great retriever and neuters him or her, will that reduce the style of said dog. Style= the pleasing way the dog retrieves and delivers the bird.
I'm not sure to where it came up recently..... but was it mentioned that a neutered female is doing quite well at the national level??????

That's no argument. You are not going to neuter the pup until 6 months anyway. Very few vets will put a 4 mth pup under anesthesia, especially if the only reason is to get them snipped.Shayne Mehringer said:Four mos old dogs don't have style... they just run like hell!!!

That's different. "Early spay & neuter" is done at a very young age, often before pups are sent home to the new owners. I can't quote vet stuff, but it is my understanding that it is a different procedure.Cray Stephenson said:caliber said:Very few vets will put a 4 mth pup under anesthesia, especially if the only reason is to get them snipped.

Bull. seen it done as young as 6 weeks and most times it is done before 15-16 weeks. Most Vets will do it as soon as the pup has it's "Last" series of shots...so they feel safe with them staying in the clinic.
Although i just now have my first retriever i have had other hunting dogs in the past and i have not nutered them. I am not vet but i would think it would cause them to somewhat loose their hunting drive.Steve Shaver said:What about the not at all option???
Why? Are you wanting to make sure your panties match for the spankin? HAHAHAHAHAHAAngie B said:What color is your belt????? Hmmmmm?

That's not the case. They will put them under and the procedure is the same. When I say I've seen it done, that means I've watched it. Not just heard of it happening. as for it being a different procedure, the procedure is identical whether at 6 wks or in adulthood (with the exception of cutting off the baggy scrotum on really hangy dogs)Very few vets will put a 4 mth pup under anesthesia, especially if the only reason is to get them snipped.
