lurcher bitch

Unless youve got a kennel full of dogs, dont do it!

Anasthetic will take a good yard of pace away from a dog every time it goes under.

still, needs must!

Dear Clarets

 

May I offer you a word of advice, think very long and hard before you make up your mind. Draw up a list of the Pro's and Con's, write them down if you have to.

 

Some con's:

1. Weight gain could be a problem, so you will have to watch what she eats.

2. Some rough coated bitches may become whoolly in appearance, some smooth coated may look patchy. Both of these can make a bitch unsightly,that is if it matters to you.

3. She may become incontinent.

4. What if she turns out to be a world beater.

 

Some Pro's:

1. You will never have to watch out for her season i.e. being around Dog's.

2. It eradicates her chances of getting Pyometra.

3. No litters of unwanted Puppies

 

These are just a few things to think on , I'm sure other's will post some more.

 

REMEMBER once she has had it done there is no going back.

 

All the best and I'm sure you'll do what YOU think is best.

MOST lurcher bitches which get spayed are most certain to put on a few pounds i have kept bitches now for a long time and find once spayed they slow down a couple of paces and tier a little easier but still give as much as before now i know some will disagree but this is what ive found and i wouldnt have one of my working bitches spayed IF I DINT HAVE TO regards mark

I had my cocker bitch spayed before i got into working dogs and she has turned out to be a natural and picked it up like a seasoned pro, she is one of the kindest prettiest hard working obedient dogs around and every day i regret having it done......not something that can be undone......the only reason i would have a dog spayed now is if it was for their health such as problems while in season or if their not comfortable.

 

Hope you can learn from my mistakes then you won't have to go through regret like i do!!!

Dear Mark

 

I fully agree with you when you say that "most bitches are certain to put on a few pounds", but I would argue that "once spayed they slow down a couple of paces and tire a little easier". I undestand that you are quoting from your own pesonal experience but their is just no medical or scientific evidence to back up what you are saying.

 

I await your reply

ok but there is no medicel or sceintific reasons to say they dont slow down or tier easier .Iam going of past experiance a bitch that has been spayed seemed to tier a bit easier maybe it was the weight gain were there is sceaintific proof regards mark

Dear Mark

 

Your ship seems to have sprung a small leak on this debate. You say the bitch seems to "slow down a couple of paces and tire a bit easier" after being spayed, therfore blaming it on the spaying. Now you are saying it maybe down to weight gain. So following a logical path after you had a bitch spayed you didn't watch her weight , therefore you ran her over her optimum weight ergo this would mean she was unfit and she tired quicker.

 

After keeping bitches for such a long time, as you state, I would of thought that it would become second nature to a man such as yourself to know when one of your bitches is carrying a bit too much weight, and would take steps to rectify this before running her. But you didn't and assumed in the first instance before changing your arguement to "maybe it was the weight gain", that it was the spaying which caused the lack of performance in the bitch.
