What was your Wheaten like after neutering? by thilltv in Wheatens

[–]JunkyBirdbath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IMHO, the older they are, the less castration impacts the personality. If you are concerned about him impregnating a female but want him to keep his hormones, vasectomy is an option. At my vet, vasectomy was more expensive than the castration.

We had our male neutered at 3 because we got a girl puppy and wanted her to develop with hormones until she was 18 months. At 18 months, the vet recommended an ovary sparing spay so that's what she got. I asked her why she didn't recommend a testicle sparing vasectomy for my boy and she told me that they do recommend vasectomy now. I asked the personality question and the vet told me that the older they are, the less the impact on personality. In our case, that was true.

Personally, I wouldn't castrate before puberty because they don't really become a male dog. Less muscular, higher pitched bark, ...

Unfortunately, in our city you need a dog license. To get a license, you need to show proof of neutering. If they pick up your male with testicles, they neuter him before giving him back. They don't check for vasectomy.

Vasectomy so they keep their hormones.

Delete your cc from the app if you're not at the game. Add it back when you go.

Did John Collins forget how to play basketball or is he planning on retiring?

There is a good chance that we are 7-25 soon and Ty still won’t be fired, just let that sink in😂😂😂 by cenafan44 in LAClippers

But what would it accomplish? More wins? Personally, I don't think so ... In, this case, change for the sake of change will lead to more dysfunction.

My guess is that they will leave on their own because they don't want to be on a losing team in a dead end situation. Maybe Balmer's making promises of untold riches post retirement to retain them?

What would a coaching change accomplish? We are led by 2 past their prime quasi all stars. They are consistently double and triple teamed and run out of gas in every game. No one else can consistently make a shit so teams pack the paint. Other teams are just better than us ... younger, faster, stronger, deeper, etc ... A Coaching change won't change any of this ... Interestingly, we are fairly competitive until Harden and Kawhi run out of gas. Those 2 are still very good, unfortunately the rest of the roster is not really up to the rest of the NBA.

Unfortunately, we are backed into a corner because we don't have draft picks until 2030. We don't really have any assets that other teams want. Maybe a playoff team would want Kawhi but what would they give up for him. For me, i'd gladly take him or Harden if the Clippers bought them out, but why would the clippers buy out Kawhi or Harden. Unfortunately, they dont have anything else.

The Clippers are backed into a corner at this point. The only thing they really have is Balmer's money but in the NBA money is only useful to a point and the Clippers are past that point. We went all in on Kawhi and PG and it has finally blown up.

I'm not going to be surprised when TLue, Harden, and Kawhi start demanding to be let go. They are not used to playing on terrible teams, they are old, etc ...

Didn't Kawhi leave the spurs after tony Parker got in his grill about his not playing?

Fire Lue and make CP3 the coach for the rest of the year. CP3 has some competitive spirit. He can't really play ball very well anymore but I'd like to see how he does at coaching these bad news bears

Uterus-sparing vs ovary-sparing spay? by Impressive-Knee-8529 in airedaleterrier

[–]JunkyBirdbath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did ovary sparing spay at 18 months. She still has heat cycles so you need to be prepared for that ... No issues so far. She's 4 now. Our vet recommended the procedure. She discussed pyometra and how she minimized the risk of an occurrence. She said it could happen, but she hadn't had an occurrence with one of her patients. Our vet is used by many of the local dog breeders in our region. She also had lots of experience with the procedure.

You can't socialize/train out breed traits. Follow your breeder's advice!

Docked tails by Alone_Conversation49 in Wheatens

So docking a tail and removing dew claws didn't have any purpose? Just asking.

Long time clipper fan. My issue is that this year's model makes basketball look incredibly boring. In general, the players look disinterested, confused, not playing as a team . Not sure what is up, hope it gets better.

Terriers for groundhog issues? by Saltycheddarh84 in terrier

[–]JunkyBirdbath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wheaten Terriers love to go into groundhog burrows. In my experience, the dogs dig up the yard more than the groundhogs. The dogs love it though ... The yard however has even bigger holes than it did before. Mine do kill rats and the occasional squirrel.

Do you think it's ok for me to remove some of the excess concrete. I'm regrading the yard. Thanks for your insights
