When you all had your dog's neutered, did you notice behavior changes? In boys or girls, but especially boys. I had my female spayed at 11mo and didn't notice any changes. But she hadn't even had her first heat, so wasn't sexually mature yet.
Rory, on the other hand, was quite mature - both physically and sexually - and I wonder what kinds of changes I may see? Ideally - I hope he is not as excitable, but this may not happen. I think that may just be his personality. He wasn't really a horn dog, but would always spend all his time at the park sniffing around and marking everything possible. Not that it bothered me, but do you think this behavior will decrease? It wouldn't be bad if his head spent less time on the ground - even if just to decrease CSF pressure in the brain. No idea if that really makes a difference, but I feel like it might...
anyway - I'm looking for your experiences. Especially those who had males neutered past puberty - once they were already exhibiting "manly" behavior.
