- What about others out there? What have your experiences been? Anyone have

- [ We have had 2 males neutered one about 4 months ago and one last Tue. Neither
- one seemed to care one way or the other. We just had to keep them quiet and
- that was about it. We had our 6 mo old Samoyed neutered at the same
- time.......he's going NUTS (pardon the expression) not being able to rocket
- around the yard jumping into the air and dragging huge branches up on the
- patio! We will launch him this Tue.
-
- As a footnote I will mention that I have seen pronounced behavior mod in the
- first male. He was VERY aggressive toward the other (we thought we had bought
- females) Now he's docile and no longer sprays...ever! But the other guy took
- over and he was hell-bent to kill the other one. I don't think they will ever
- get along, but hopefully the rage will be lessened. I would recommend
- neutering males as soon as it is possible before they develop these habits.
- I'll post how this works or doesn't work a few months from now after the
- hormones are gone etc.
