[Gpdd] RESCUE-Adoption

[Kathy]

I have one of each. One is supposivly my daughters :) She has the female who 
may be pregnant. The female is the boss here. My male was neutered a bit 
over a week ago. I have heard that older males may become impacted. I have 
also heard from others who have a lot of males that is not something that is 
likely to happen. Excersise and diet seems to help keep those muscles in 
line. I neutered the male becaus like in a human being it is not as likely 
to have complications. I do not notice any difference with Ebony. Although 
he was quite more skittish those first few days home. He clicked his teeth 
which I had never heard him do.

I do not know if spaying helps prevent problems or not. So far I have not 
read that anywhere. That does not mean it might not be true.
