de-sexing and general

Question
hello lee,

thankyou again for your response. exactly what i needed to know..
before my pup was desexed she was backing down to other dogs if they sort of 'had a go' at her i guess this is just because the other dog put it over her, not that i want her to fight but maybe just more stand up for her self, i dont mean that to sound cruel, do u think this may change over time when she gets bigger and older?

Answer
Yes, as she gets older and larger she should be more willing to stand her ground. I am certain that she would stand her ground if she ever had to. I do not suggest allowing your dog to fight under any circumstance. This will only lead to injury and expense for treatment of wounds. If you are wanting a guard dog she can be trained accordinaly, but be sure she is trained and under voice command or serious problems could occur.
