Bird dogs, I don' t think it should make a difference.

We use Bull/hounds to hunt pigs down here and your not supposed to spay or neuter them because they can loose their grit. Especially male pups who do not know how to hunt yet. But if they allready know how to hunt and grab, then you can fix them and probably not notice any difference. But I have a dog that was spayed and she is such a p^$$% I sometimes want to shoot her. In her case, I believe it definately was a bad Idea for her to get spayed and she lost all grit. A pitbull/sharpei that I got from the pound which was allready fixed loved to hunt. Every day she got better and better but she didn' t have as much instant grab quallity as I would like. Don' t know if it was because she was spayed or not. But she definately loved to hutn and was very good at it. She died tho. Damb toads!
