Will neutering/ spaying a guard dog like a Rottweiler or Belgian Malinois affect his/her behaviour2007-11-25 2:56:39

example Now with a male dog nurturing them will detour them from wandering, not because they forgot how but because there is no point. what are they going to do. It will not stop them from getting out if they are bored, and looking for something to do, it will just stop the breeding hunt they go on.

Basically don't worry all spaying/nurturing will do is keep your dogs healthier so they can protect you longer.

PS look for a spaying/nurturing van or bus in your city. they are way cheaper. it is normally 250 to spay a rotty female, i went to the big fix and paid 60

I think you meant will they be less protective. :] As long as you don't neuter the dog really early as a puppy, it shouldn't really effect him. They will actually probably be MORE obedient. Although they are typically more inclined to be aggressive when they're un-neutered, they shouldn't be any less protective of you and your home.

A dog's desire to protect his owner & property will NOT be effected, when the dog is spayed/neutered. Thank you in advance, for doing this (and for letting the Rottweiler keep his tail!)

Thank you for being responsible, and getting your dog neutered/spayed. This won't affect their protective skills, (and no -- a spayed female won't put on weight just because she's spayed). If they have been trained to obey you, then they will continue to do so.

i don't think it would hurt...the dog is trained to protect? if anything i think it would be better a spayed/neutered dog are easier to train..they don't have their minds on other things..ya know. but its a good question. have u ever watched mythbusters on the discovery channel? they just did dog myths...and the male guard dog did not attack when it was smelling a b*tch in heat and it was just her pee.
