We have recently adopted a male 14 mo. old chihuahua. He is not neutered. He is wonderful, very mellow, not yappy, doesn't shiver, just a really cool, perfect dog for us. He gets along well with other dogs, and likes my cat (who is still undecided about him). He travels well, lets me clean his teeth, bathe him, he sleeps with us, etc. He is a little lover. I've got lots of great information from the internet and am looking for some practical advise about one thing. Since he is already past the age recommended for neutering (8-9 mo), would/will he really change so much if we don't have him neutered? Wouldn't he already be displaying undesirable traits due to his not being fixed? If I let him breed with a friend's female, or others (discriminately, of course), will that really make him less of a pet and more of what has been described as "James Dean Teen Angst"-type behavior? Anyone have experience with this, or advise? Thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
