Creator of fake doggy testicles says castration 'ruff' on Fido's self-esteem

[dragondawg]

You know...neuticles convince people to neuter their pets who otherwise wouldn't. What could be bad about that? They don't hurt the animal, it's not an invasive procedure to put them in, and I really don't see anything wrong with them unless you're using them to cheat in the show ring or something.

If neuticles are needed to convince a person to neuter their male dog, then they need psycological help, or at least should be educated in not being niave in the world.

Shall we take a survey of the forum...

Who with a neutered male dog ever even heard of neuticles before this post?

Who believes their neutered male dog is emotional scared for life (e.g. suffers chronic depression over the missing family jewels)?

Who has a neutered male dog that when approached by a female dog will run behind your legs in shame?

How would a Judge determine if a show dog has fake ones or not?

Who believes the inventor is more concerned with a dog's appearance than he is with the appearance of his banking account???

Be that as it may, the fact remains that a lot of people decide to neuter after they learn that their dog can retain his "natural" looks. Heck, I've SEEN IT HAPPEN at the clinic...There are a lot of pet owners who would benefit immensely from some education, don't you think? If a set of neuticles is the worst thing that happens to an animal in its lifetime I fail to see a problem with that.

I'm trying not to generalize too much, but a fair chunk of people who get neuticles for their dogs and cats are "macho" types who don't want to admit they have neutered their pet but don't want to deal with the behavioral traits or health effects of an intact male. When they learn that there's an alternative that will only cost them an extra $75. some of them jump on it. Some of them want a bigger set than the originals put in, too.
