A quick video that supports what so many of us echo on this forum

I know he says that aggression does not increase a dog that is not neutered but their drive definitely does. When I had a female dog in heat in the late 90s, all the other dogs on the street would escape their yards and attempt to get into mine. It's like a scene from a zombie movie. And they don't give up ever for the whole period that she was in heat!

I think there is a big difference between aggression and the natural breeding instinct

For sure but when they all congregate at your front gate, it becomes a fight club!

No issues if you're the only male in the street. But if you have to compete for the only female in heat amongst 10 other studs then it's a different story!

To me that IS part of natural breeding instinct and not aggression. Male mammals compete to prove their breeding worth. That's where owners need to be responsible and prevent roaming.

Interesting video and it uses a lot of common sense.
There is such a knee jerk reaction to certain breeds that causes the uninformed to panic when a large dogs comes onto the scene.

So true DDSK! My husband and I were walking into PetSmart with both dogs last week, we walked through the entrance and a woman with a VERY small dog yelled "Please don't let your dog attack mine!" I had to laugh...I don't even waste my time with those people.

Ummm... When I opened the link, it showed me a sleep video

Edit: And when I opened it a second time, it showed the right video :) I agree, it's great!
