I understand owning difficult animals, I have had several myself and I have seen hundreds come through the hospital that I worked at. This is in regards to Charlee's post, please don't take this as a flame. I disagree with vet and trainers you spoke with. If you had not planned on altering your samoyed because you were going to breed him that is one thing, otherwise he should have been neutered years ago. Doing so now and with QUALITY training will make a difference in his behaviour and in the quality of his health. WEEKS ago we wrote to Ft. Campbell to ask if ferrets were allowed on base.. no answer, does anyone know if they are allowed on the Military base in Kentucky. June Louis and the zoo [Posted in FML issue 3006]
