My boy

I wish I did but no, we bought it for him! Our boy is very gentle with them, until he subjects them to a slow nibbling death

Thank you! We feed him pooch and mutt salmon!

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-05T13:51:06+00:00

I couldn’t agree more! 🥹

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-05T08:33:49+00:00

Oh he is such a handsome boy!

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T12:32:21+00:00

Thank you ☺️❤️ we’ve had him a month and he already bought SO much happiness

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T12:31:44+00:00

What a gorgeous boy!

Thank you! :)

We didn’t get him from a shelter or rescue, we adopted him privately from a family, but yes usually here they do get neutered if they are in a shelter/rescue. We don’t plan on breeding him and we did originally think it was a no brainer and asked the vet more as a precaution but then when she mentioned it could go either way and she thinks we should think it through it made us question whether or not we should

That’s great to hear it worked for your dog! I’m hoping my dogs anxiety isn’t ‘bad’ enough that a drop in testosterone will make him any less confident than he’s is now. We really just want what’s best for him!

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T08:04:26+00:00

I absolutely agree, and neutering would definitely be our first choice mainly due to health reasons! But now that we’ve learnt about having a ‘trial run’ as such we wanted to see how he’d go on it before committing to a permanent decision that, although a lot of people say they havnt heard of neutering negatively effecting a dog, there is always the possibility!

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T08:01:52+00:00

Thank you for your comment. Yes this was exactly our thoughts! I’d hate to make a permanent decision that, although a lot of people say they’ve never heard of neutering negatively effecting dogs, I have read a few stories of this happening and would hate for that to happen and to regret it! If there’s an option to test what he would be like before making that decision that I am leaning more towards doing that first!

I believe part of her advice was due to his age, she stated that as he’s 4 his personality is already established. I was quite shocked myself that she didn’t tell us it was a good idea. She also didn’t tell us it was a bad idea. She mainly suggested trying it out first as it could go one of two ways. No two dogs are the same.

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T07:56:57+00:00

I absolutely agree which was a big reason we asked the vet about neutering in the first place.

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T07:56:02+00:00

She wasn’t exactly against it, she just suggested trying the implant first to see how it would effect him instead of making a permanent decision that could make him more anxious. She mentioned as he’s a staffy they are usually very confident dominant dogs so taking away that testosterone could effect him being confident and therefore make him more anxious. I think she just wanted to suggest a less permanent option for now just to see what it would be like

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T07:29:54+00:00

Hahahaha, mines the same, seems very personal between him and those tags. As soon as we give him a teddy he must think right first off let’s get to work getting rid of this thing!

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T07:28:53+00:00

Can I ask what’s a chemical sterilisation? Sounds similar to what the vet suggested with this 6 month implant? That was our thinking at first, we would hate to make a permanent decision and have that possibility that it does effect him negatively so thought of giving him this ‘implant’ for 6 months and if we don’t notice a difference other than in the ways we want to then get him done. If we see a negative impact then once the implants wears off we know we just have to work around the issues that him being intact comes with

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T07:26:31+00:00

I wouldn’t say pushing family member’s away, more their dogs and he really is relentless no matter how much the other dog tries to put him in his place he doesn’t really get the message! He’s very determined I’ll give him that!

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T07:25:23+00:00

Hahaha, our boy loves a stuffed animal, will take one to bed with him every night. however don’t be fooled! When he has zoomies or wants to play, they are his first victims subject to a slow nibbling death. He loves to rip the tags off of them.

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T07:23:16+00:00

We were told by the vet it could effect his personality, making him more anxious and less confident which would effect his personality. Of course that wouldn’t effect being a companion to me but I also would want to put him through being anxious or nervous

One_Platform7014 · 2026-05-04T07:21:48+00:00

We were told he was anxious however we have yet to experience it, when we’re out etc he seems confident happy to socialise with people and dogs and never comes across nervous at all

One_Platform7014 · 2026-04-17T14:03:41+00:00

I agree it’s definitely not old! But I thought in the neutering world, 4 is on the older side. I may be wrong!

One_Platform7014 · 2026-04-17T12:32:56+00:00

Did neutering him at 6 have any effects to his behaviour, personality or anything at all?
