Perhaps you're unaware of the original post that put Joedee on my ignore list.Too right I'm not in the mood to roll with it with the idiots at the moment.
And that particular idiot is quoting one side of an argument in an inappropriate forum.Zink is a novice,if this were the place for it a healthy debate could continue on the veterinary aspects of early neutering.
I don't like early neutering and I don't do it.But I do neuter and have the luxury of both the facilities and the expertise to wait until my dogs are fully mature before they have to undergo it.
In the real world however there are all these normal people whose lives DON'T revolve around their dogs.They wouldn't know a labrador from a chipmonk but they can make perfectly adequate homes for a dog.As long as it's neutered.We've seen them on this forum.They're racing off to the vet because their bitch pup is bleeding.Their rescue dog is in whelp.The best of them come onto this forum and are given tactful advice.I can visualise every time the tactful advisers ripping their hair out and nail biting to the quick in despair as I do when I see these posts.
Then along comes one blowfish promoting ignorance and I lose it,sorry dudes.I can bite my nails and tear my hair with the best but this .... beggers belief.This forum has always been a distraction from my beloved wife's illness.I don't care what sex Zinks is,it bore no relevance to looking into the subject so I paid it no mind.As for Joedee,she hasn't put up her(?) real name on her profile,and is wearing a burglars mask on her photo so why not call her by her screen name?It's entirely likely that I'm suffering Post Mortum Tension so am tetchier than usual.I'm also not unique in typos-but both my spelling and vocab are better than most so picking on that is just pathetic.
And the day that any one of you knocking my stand on neutering walks a mile in MY shoes,ie the hard end of rescue picking up the broken puppies and haggard bitches who've had litter after litter,then come back and tell me how wrong it is.
I'm kicking against the rescues who support neutering at 12 - 16 weeks here!It's happening now and where did the idea come from?The UK!
I go for a 6 months MINIMUM age,8 - 9 months in a slow maturing breed and as many pet owners don't have any recollection of their pets' ages(bizarre to me but that's the way they are)or even the YEAR they got them I follow up my own rehomings of entire animals and remind them.
What experience has Smokey or Joedee of the REAL world of the thousands of unwanted animals doomed to slow horrific death because their parents weren't neutered?Either of them sat up night after night cradling a dying dog that arrived too late?I only post here the ones that make it.And on one occasion one who I didn't expect to.
Smokeybear claims to have won here with neutered animals but her profile not only doesn't show a name it doesn't even declare a breed!I could check the veracity of that claim quickly and easily otherwise but as it stands I don't believe it.The Munster circuit starts in a few months,know what that is SB?
