VERY IMPORTANT!

*Preventing unwanted litters is a goal we all share—but it's time to rethink the surgical approach. Hysterectomies and vasectomies, which preserve hormonal balance, can safely be performed as early as 8 weeks of age, making dogs sterile without disrupting their natural hormones.

New peer-reviewed study published in Nature:

How a dog’s lifetime exposure to his own hormones (before being neutered) affects how well he handles aging and frailty later in life.

Study Background

• Frailty = when older dogs (and people) become weaker, less resilient, and more prone to illness and death.
• Most research looks at how to prevent frailty — this study looked at what makes some dogs bounce back better after frailty sets in.
• The focus was on the HPG axis — the hormonal system that produces testosterone and controls reproduction.

Key Findings

• Dogs neutered very young (before 2 years old) had:

o A much higher risk of death once they became frail.
o About 16% higher mortality for every small increase in frailty.

• Dogs kept intact longer (more than ~10 years) showed:
o No increase in mortality linked to frailty.
o Their hormones seemed to “buffer” the negative effects of aging.

• Each extra year of natural hormone exposure reduced frailty-related death risk by ~1%.

What It Means

• Hormones from the te**es may protect against the worst effects of aging later in life.
• Removing them too early could make dogs less resilient to age-related decline.
• Frailty isn’t just about getting old — it’s also shaped by early-life events like the timing of neutering.
• This supports a “life course” view: what happens early in life affects health decades later.

Why It Matters

• The study suggests timing of neutering might influence how well dogs age.

The breed is been demonize. Is not the dog's fault, is the owner's.

October is Pit Bull Awareness Month.
Feared by many, misunderstood by most — yet anyone who’s worked beside one knows the truth.
💪 Strong enough to catch a boar.
❤️ Gentle enough to be a kid’s best friend.

These dogs are loyalty, drive, and heart all in one.
Here’s to the breed that never quits.

True protector!

In Northern California, Erin Wilson was walking with her dog Eva when a mountain lion jumped out of the bushes and attacked her. The big cat clawed Erin’s shoulder, and she screamed for help. Eva, a brave Belgian Malinois, ran back and fought with the lion to save her.

The lion bit the dog’s head and dragged her away, but she kept fighting. Erin threw rocks and hit the lion with a crowbar until a man came to help. Together, they scared the lion off. Eva was badly hurt from the fight, but she had saved her owner’s life.
