<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">All my dogs know the difference between an intact male or female and one who is not, altho the females are more subtle. The boys bristle at intact males, (and each other) and Cooper, who was neutered late, often acts like an intact male-- taking charge, posturing and eyeballing other males. I would never trust him at the dog park, for example, or Nigel. Or Conley, who plays very very rough because he is playing with Nigel and their "playfights" often turn into something very very edgey and close to the real thing.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Conley recently was at a show with his sister who had just come into season. He had never been around a bitch in season and was quite taken with her, needless to say.(The feeling was NOT mutual) You know the cartoons where the eyeballs spin in a pinwheel fashion? Yeah, well..... He then spent the rest of the day attempting to check every dog he passed, just to validate in his mind (?) what the smell was. Or to see if he could find someone who smelled that good but was a lot friendlier. (LOL)<br>
Once home, he checked out everyone here, too, to his disappointment. Later he saw his sister again as she was coming OUT of season and was enchanted but summarily told where he could put that big, cold nose of his if he wasn't careful.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">He doesn't understand any of this.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">He only knows the smell and that it does something to him over which he probably has no control.</font></font></div>
