53. less testosterone is a good thing for many male dogs, and if you don't fix a female, you will be

dealing with a dog and its "period", man, did I learn the hard way on when was the time to get the female fixed. She was puppy 1 and then puppy 2 came along (male), she went into heat just before her appointment, and we had to wait until the whole bloody mess was done with, at the same time, the smell drove the other one crazy wild. And still after she was fixed, the male would get so stupid horny, he jump on her. I was aboslutely done with that, and insisted he be fixed. His level of crazy, nutsy need to seek out something was done. It was the best day in the world. He's been awesome, as far as dogs go, for a long time now. I literally have little children coming up to pet him in the neighborhood. Of course, we keep him squared off and corralled into the fenced in yard because we don't want any surprises or issues with a "jump up, lick face" on a kid who's half his weight. Owners have to be responsible too. Its not fair on a dog to throw them for a loop or place them in a situation that will cause a problem (ultimately, with my old dog Saber, it was our bad not to have her chained up or on a leash while we were working on our yard, with no fence when she took after the evil boy).
