New bushcraft buddy

[Ystranc]

I hadn't read that anywhere, thanks for the info Mike, I'm glad you said that

There has been some research linking early neutering with certain types of cancer in dogs.

My constant wild camping buddy last ten years....the farts in tent are getting more pungent as he gets olderView attachment 116040

We only have your word for it that it's the dog who farts

Jon the Short Haired pointer would be a great dog too! My wife was raised with them. Like Mike says, let your girl grow a bit before neutering her. You shouldn't have the same problems of teenage aggression that a boy would have and you want her fully grown before you spay her.

Like Skye, The Boy was done at 18 months (or about 38 kg). He was getting a bit bullish with other male dogs if we took him to town. The change after he was done was incredible...

Good luck with your new bush companion. Cant wait to see pics of her...

As long as you leave it long enough, they recommend leaving large breeds intact until they’re around two so they’re fully developed. The only reason that we had Skye done at 18 months was that he was starting with teenage stroppiness. No joke in a 55kilo dog

55kg! What breed is Skye? Shetland pony?

Morning Alan, my labrador is going to be spayed at the end of next month which will be 3 months after her first season as recommended by the vet

Wow he is a big boy! Just looked them up. Beautiful looking dogs, but too big for our household.

We’re on the lookout for another, female next time.

I'm going through loads of adverts for dogs and puppies daily, would you like me to let you know if I come across any?

 

[Ystranc]

Don’t worry about it Jono. We’re part of the deerhound society and have a breeder in Essex lined up for next year.
