Hi/HELP!!

Hi im a new member to this site with a rescue staffy, weve had him for about a year and think he's about 3 years old, hes a great dog and we love him loads.
However weve been thinking of introducing another dog to our family, and have seen another staff in the same rescue center we got henry from, our only problem is Henry hasnt been castrated and feels the need to 'love' everything.

we took henry to see her and they got on great except for him 'loving' her which she didnt like! im confused as to what to do! help please x

Would you condider having him castrated? I think that may help x

Yeah i think we would have to to be fair, but i don't see it calming him down all that much with him being 3 already x we can tell shes had a litter already so they would both need 'doing' x

I'm suprised they hadn't had the op before they re-homed them, I'm not too sure but I think it will help. And being 3, I don't think Staffies ever calm down, whatever age they are!! Wekcome to the forum btw!! Nice one on re-homing

Well unfortunately the bitch in the center has been taken by someone else, she was too beautiful to hesitate really, i think we'll keep looking around and get henry castrated and let him calm down a bit etc. He's a brilliant dog and a great addition to our family.

Thanks for the welcome =D xx

I know that feeling, I was all set to rescue a little girl called Tilly, but by the time I got there she'd gone, I was gutted But I have Moo now and yes they are an amazing addition to any family

henry looks adorable -welcome from meand woody. i had him done in November -still waiting for him to calm down although he doesnt "love" anymore!

Henry is great with people will only 'love' when he gets too excited, but hes not so good with other dogs, because he doesn't care if its male or female or absolutely huge he just wants it.
he had a male German Shepard cowed on the field so he could get on the back!!

He enjoys a nice leather handbag aswell lol =) x

im "loving" henry already!!!! a man that knows what he wants!!!!! woody was similar before i had him done - male/female/inaminate objects they were all within his sights!

At least he knows it's not a "copy one" from Thailand then
Pity you missed out on the other dog, but maybe it was not meant to be yet. I'm sure the right one is just around the corner

unlucky on the rescue girl i would say go ahead get ur boy done and let him recover then look for the right bitch for you and your family good luck

Hiya & welcome to the forum

The trouble with him is he has the urge to mate but as he hasnt, anything will do. Now a dog that is used probably wouldnt bother cause he knows what to do and when to do it. Having him castrated would probably calm him down a little he may still do it occasionally but its not really fair to bring another into your home to be sexually attacked like this

Agreed, a visit to the vets is deffo in order. he's such an amazing companion i cant wait to get him a little friend to keep him company =D thanks for all your comments and advice guys xx

Hello and welcome to the forum

Hi there from me and my 2 scallywags .... Henry looks like a lovely boy

Hi ya and welcome.

Hi & welcome!
I'm surprised that your boy wasn't neutered when you rescued him, or was it a private rescue?

I would definitely consider getting him castrated, as otherwise you'll be having problems all the time, and it won't be very nice for any companion you bring in, and could possibly lead to a fight.

Be aware, though, that the 'urges' will take a while to disappear as the testosterone levels take a while to leave his system. Please also be aware, that if it is a 'habit' then castration may not stop it and only training will do the trick. If I were you, I'd start the training now, so that when/if you get him neutered, you'll have a head start!
