| Increase in Male Aggression with New Female in the House???
My 2 year old intact male has become a butthead since the addition of an intact female puppy to our family. She is now 7 months old and about the time she stopped obviously smelling like a puppy, his aggressiveness started to increase. He's always been "tough," but manageable. Have any of you ever experienced this? As beautiful as he is, if there is not good reason to think he is going to "return to normal"... I may consider neutering him.
My breeder says he's 2, and is just going through a "phase." She also says it's a wives tale that neutering a dog decreases their aggressiveness. I don't know about the first statement... but I'm pretty sure that losing his balls will decrease his aggressiveness... especially if it's the result of having an intact female around.
I need your thoughts and advice... thanks! |
