Guest chook Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Castrating or spaying surely should only be carried out for medical reasons in a working dog. If your dog ends up average or poor you wouldnt breed from it. But what if your dog turns out a realy good worker what a waste that is and a shame for the breed, not to past on such traits in the futer. In the futer if you ever need to sell the dog it renders it worth less to a lot of working men. I only keep bitches but wouldnt buy a spayed bitch how ever good she is in the feild. the way I look at it is if a dogs not good enougth to breed its not good enougth to feed. When I hear people saying I cant have my bitch bleeding in the house for two weeks a year or my dogs to much of a character I wonder why such people dont invest in a gold fish instead. True my lurchers and terreirs never come inside but when growing up my mother always kept various bitches and it wasnt very hard to keep a bitchs in the kitchen on lino for the duration of a season. I dont buy into all that R.S.C.A (scum) nonsense about old bitches and dogs getting every disease under the sun if left as nature intended at the end of the day when its an old dogs time its there time leaving space for the next generation to take there place, nature at work. In the last year an half - ive had 3 bitch's come down with pyo and one die of inflamotory carsonoma which had ruptured, all were over the ages of 10, the bitch with carsonoma we didnt treat - so except for pts and cremation, didnt cost much, two of the bitchs cost me about £450 each for full hysto spay and the 3rd bitch cost me over 1500 as she had to be rushed to the emergency vets, had a full hysto spay and had complications, due to her having pancritus(sp) all 4 dogs were fit and healthy for there ages, no signs of age related problems, one of the bitchs who was spayd, needs to go back in for a mamory strip, will cost around £500, as she has mamory lumps, that will kill her - in all other sences shes fit and healthy - so why denie her of a life, when it can be easily treated. If i would have had all 4 done when young, it would have cost me less then it has done and the bitch i lost would still be hear now. Quote Link to post

These people are clearlie not into hunting. we wont the mods from the " HUNTINGLIFE" ban these kind of idiots. Or perhaps just going with the times my friend I neuter all my bitches, yes it makes life easier, and yes it means i can work my dogs all year round if i want to, but it also prevent pyo and mammary tumour....and that is a fact. My simple view on things is....i got very good dogs without having to breed them myself (also got mediocre and crap ones) so there are enough people out there breeding good dogs if i want one, without adding to the already fit to burst lurcher population myself. Breeding your own good dog will not result in every pup being as good as it's mother, some will, some will be mediocre and some crap. But then again because i neuter my bitches and dont breed from them i am clearly an idiot and not into hunting....so just ignore anything i say untill i get banned 1 Quote Link to post
