Thread: Neutered vs entire males

It may just be my experience but in the last couple of weeks I have had 3 different neutered males get stroppy/staunch with my 22 month old entire male. Have any of you come across this problem and can you explain why it happens?

In each situation he wasn't paying any attention to the other dog and each time I have stood in front of my dog and told the other dog to back off. Possibly not the wisest thing to have done but on each occasion the other dog backed down.

I have had differing reactions from owners - one lot did absolutely nothing, the other was surprised as the two dogs had been OK together when Steel was a few months younger, the last one was very embarrassed and apologised. He couldn't figure out why his dog was behaving that way.
