When I talked to my vet about another puppy, he said two neutered males should not be a problem and I will neuter this puppy. Gloria P In a message dated 12/27/2008 6:28:08 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
I leave mine alone for stretches and they are fine but I always remember my vet saying "oh your getting another male, you'll be callig me for stitiches." I asked my agiltiy trainer who agreed but she added you just have to be top dog no room for doubt that way you say how the pack interacts. Its interesting when I started thinking of it like that it was easier for me to insist on the behavior I want...kind of like mother wolf- GRRR this way now! LOL They mouth and spar and if my Henry is not really into it at puppy volume I step in and put the brakes on mr. vinne being too annoying to him but I do distract him and play with him at those times also as he IS a puppy and why rob him of his wildness. best, michelle, henry and vinnie keeping warm in the beautiful Catskills -----Original Message----- From: e holley <literacydog12...@literacyd> To: chihuah...@yahoogroto: Sent: Sat, 27 Dec 2008 7:15 pm Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] new ideas Michelle Hi, Michelle! I had to lauh when you wrote about being a strong alpha! Everyone warned me also about having two males, but I love my boys and they are the best! Do things get out of hand every so often??? YES! But I strictly supervise when they are playing by themselves, but it does get easier! You're correct!
