We were meant to be at BCCGB pup of the year today with D but decided some time ago we'd have a day off instead.
After much deliberation on who to get neutered when I decided to try D with the Suprelorin implant. The jury is still out on what we're doing with Inca. Originally I was going to stop showing at the end of this month, and although I've not entered any more I think I'll see how we do to the end of March.
I ordered last week and today we took him to have it done. I did feel slightly guilty when I saw the size of needle, especially as our vet had a bit of trouble getting it through his skin, but he was a good boy and didnt even flinch - probably something to do with mum having peperami.
There is a bit of a mixed debate as to whether dogs with Suprelorin should be shown, although theres nothing official to say they shouldnt be. One side effect is that their balls shrink up to 1/4 of their original size (can't say I've measured his, lol). Some people say it effects their coat. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what effect is has on him. Showing isn't my prority, and I could always return him to the ring when its worn off.
At least I wont have to put up with the screaming banshee that kept trying to dig under the kitchen door when Incas next in season ;)
