Re: [PyrNet-L] neutering

["Tracy Pribbenow" <pribb@feist.com>]

I had my Pyr, Rodman, neutered, to reduce his desire to roam.  Even though
we have invested in a chain link fence over a large area, he was frequently
escaping, and would roam several miles -- including one time being gone
nine days.

Since he got neutered, he seems to have calmed down more -- doesn't bark AS
MUCH (of course, Pyrs always bark quite a bit), and hasn't seemed so
obsessed with trying to get out to find neighborhood dogs.  He also used to
sometimes make inappropriate movements toward ME (hump against my leg, etc)
when I was try to pet him; and this has stopped since the neutering).
He also quit getting in quite as many arguments with my male German
Shepherd, although they will never be best of friends.

Those are the reasons I used.
