Longblades, I will hopefully find time to go through all your links soon. I sadly sent one of our beloved cattle dogs to the Bridge tonight and the other is nearly 15 years old, so in the forseeable future we may have to introduce and rear another pup. I think it will be a male so I NEED to do my homework. I haven't read anything (yet) that has persuaded me neutering is in a dog's best interests, although spaying can be a necessary evil. I much prefer my dogs totally natural, no cropping, docking, de-barking or de-sexing unless or until it is necessary.
I have a friend who trained as a Vet too then gave it way to raise her family, it's great that she's a happy mother and grandmother now but yes, seems an awful waste.
I won't be around tomorrow, shopping day.(sigh) but I look forward to seeing where this thread has gone by the time I can get back to it.
