spot on, dont keep bull breeds now, as i keep lurchers, the ones ive got now are , 1x gsd x grey Buck, and 1 x collie x grey Bryn. Bryn 9 year old ,Buck 4 year old both with there nuts . never had an probs with them, they are kennel dogs in the same kennel .Its a twin size kennel , with a door to separate , both have there own beds, but i always leave the middle door open,as i think Bryn goes in with Buck to sleep lol.I even give raw beef bones to them with the door left open, no prob with them. What it comes down to i think is a dog temp deff.Buck big dog 28in 86 lb , Bryn 25in 60 lb, both dogs have sensitive temps but Buck worse he just big wimpy type temp, starnge really , he loves people, likes other dogs , he dont guard , but nothing to guard really as the kennel/run round the back of me place. Bryn quite as well maybe Buck just followed him. but this type lurchers herding types norm have good temps, a wheaten x grey or pit x grey would prob be bit more dog aggressive in alot of situations . ive had 3 pit x greys in the past, they wereok with other dogs, as i always have my pup round people and dogs from 10 weeks old. But i have heard of quite few pit xs that have been to sharp with other dogs , and deff wheatens xs. So it the type of dog and it temp and upbringing i think, ive had lurchers 30 years, and pit, bullmastffs, and was bought up with staffs as a kid they were more like pit s that are around to day i am 64 yeh old bugger lol. Funny thing i have thought in future what lurcher x i would get, i thought maybe a lab x grey type but be very hsrd to get as they dont breed this x very much, but something with gundog breeding in it mix. Back to the thread lol, i would only castrate a male dog , if it was constantly wanting to fight, even if i tried to train it not to and it was well socialised , and if it had health prob (cancer etc ) then i would do it, but only then .
