My dad was a Vet - he alwasy thought it was a shame to neuter the male but if there are aggression or wandering & maybe the marking too - but I'm not sure about that last one, as we never had that happen even when the Sckipperkes were breeding [I have heard of this in the Chi world though so you aren't alone] He had 2 collies for years - Mitzi was neutered & Bruno not. They never mated - Bruno was faithful and always there as the guard dog & Mitz was the people/work dog. In her later years Mitzi had hormone therapy - it gave her back her pep.
I would neuter the females for sure & if Mr doesn't stop I'd neuter him too. Maybe your Vet can help you think it through if he/she isn't too money crazy. ________________________________ From: Cindy Dawson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, November 15, 2010 4:10:45 PM Subject: [Chihuahuas] fixing a dog [2 Attachments] [Attachment(s) from Cindy Dawson included below] I have three Chihuahuas. a male (Rocky) and a female ( Mia). and they had two batches of puppy the first time four baby and the last time they had one. we kept a puppy out of there first batch a female Sadie . and now I think were done with puppy's. my Male Rocky is now marking all over the house seen my Husband got a male Lab who is out side most of the time. My Husband think we should just fix Mia . he afraid fixing Rocky will change his personal ate and he will still mark in the house. so I want to know if you fix a male dose it stop them from marking in the house. I want to fix all three seen I already have three beautiful baby that are very loved (my family say spoiled.) what do you think. what best .
