Chaz, our working cocker, is just over a year old now and the jury's still out on whether we'll be getting him neutered.
We'd certainly not get him neutered in an attempt to cure any behavioural issues though.
Bailey, in common with a lot of 9 month old cocker spaniels, can do a very good impression of the hound from hell. It's all part of growing up for them and there are many posts on here about the difficulties that have been experienced with "teenage" cockers........Been there, done it, but the dog chewed my tea shirt
.
Chaz went through all the hyper activity, tried to dominate our show cocker, Milly (She soon cured him of that
) and displayed just about every anti-social tendency that can be imagined including an insatiable appetite for TV remotes, iPhones, my wallet and the wife's unmentionables
.
Now, just a few months later, he's a completely different dog. He still has the odd "moment" but it's just his way of finding out if the rules still apply
....They do.
I'd certainly hold off with the neutering for a few more months as you may well find that he's at his worst right now but will soon start to improve.
