I really feel you should neuter him, I can't think of a good reason not to, and you did know the shelter wanted this.... Besides, if you are rehoming him it in my opinion is very important.

Go ahead people.

One, the pregnant Lab was so pregnant that she gave birth almost two weeks after I brought her home. Check the website. I adopted a PREGNANT dog and her boyfriend.

Two, I haven't said that I am not neutering the dog, just simply rethinking the entire process. I want to make sure that I do the right thing regardless of what anyone else says.

Three, I can search back through the posts and produce proof that Chazhound posters are notorious at starting trouble for people who are not even associated with the boardsite.

Four, I have an established relationship with the shelter, which is why they called me to take in the Rottweiler and her pups. They are very unlikely to repossess any dogs outside of the county mainly because they usually overcrowded and happy to find someone who is willing to help by providing a home for some of the dogs. Let me remind you that the pits were found abandoned in a garage by tenants who vacated the home. The shelter operator was happy that the female had found a home in which she could have the pups, because otherwise the pups would not have survived at the shelter.

It is a kill shelter which goes far out of it's way to avoid killing the dogs.

I will be so interested in hearing the shelter's reply.

the right thing would be to hold up your end of the bargain with the shelter and neuter the dog. period. the end.

ADOPTION IS FREE!!!

You must agree to Spay or Neuter your new pet and provide proof to the shelter within 30 days.



This
requirement is NON-NEGOTABLE

Why are the pets free? We understand that there are a lot of initial expenses incurred when you get a new pet including; Spay/neuter, Yearly vaccinations, general health exams, preventative medicines, obedience classes, food, dishes, collars, leashes, toys and beds to name just a few. We want you to be able to provide your new pet with everything that they will need right away! The most important thing to us is that these precious souls get into a great home as quickly as possible.
Simple. You agreed to neuter this dog, it is part of the agreement. Now be RESPONSIBLE and get him neutered.

Its part of the argement. Period. So he must be neutered.

I'm not one to jump all over about speutering. i would be a hyproctire, as I have a intact male, and have no plans of neutering him. he is no breeding dog, no show dog. Just a pet. But if i adopted from a shelter, then offcourse I would follow through with what I was told to do.

because everyone's input is important.
On my desk I have one of those legal scales, you know, the kind that weighs guilty or not guilty. I put everyone's input on one side, and my stuff on the other side. I have to think ahead, think now, think what is already done, etc. I am not just considering me, I am considering the community, the society, the dog's wellbeing, and a zillion other things.

Sure, there are societies where this sort of breed is illegal to keep. On the other side, there are societies where this sort of breed is very popular.

If I would look at it in the same sense as that guns are illegal in Washington,DC but legal here....and that people are sensible enough to make the most of their rights, I would be honor bound to keep Jaws intact.....in the possibilty that his future services might be very important. That does not mean that I would irresponsibly breed him just for the heck of it.

In all reality, most of us would not want a polar bear in our yard, but that does not mean that we should not protect the potential future of the species.



Well then why ask for our input??

This is NOT a dog you got from a breeder. This a dog you got from a shelter. Your views on speutering are NOT important in this matter. You AGREED to get him neutered. It is PART of an AGREEMENT the SHELTER HAD!

because APBTs are so in danger of becoming extinct in the next few years :rolleyes: I think you've said volumes of what your intentions are with this dog.

:confused:

His services?! No matter what reason you breed him for, it will be irresponsible. This is a shelter dog of unknown origins, of a breed overflowing in shelters everywhere. There will NEVER be a good reason to breed him. EVER.

My. god.

now you want to breed him? What you seen a free intact dog, and seen the money signs right?

becuase poorly bred, unpapered, unknown history "pitbulls" are going extinct, he may be one of the last ones?

People like you are the ones who need to have fixed dogs. obviously you only want to breed.

Can you guys not get it through your heads? I do not have intentions of breeding him. I am just considering the pros and cons of neutering

Not sure how to say this again.

I did not legally agree to neuter the dog. I did not say that I would neuter the dog. The shelter is not relying on my neutering the dog for any other thing. (i.e. it won't cause any hardship for the shelter if I do or do not neuter the dog.)

And I would just about bet that mr. I am not your lawyer would have to agree with me.
