Wow, research studies are finally catching up with reality. Our pets need their hormones!

NO UNWANTED LITTERS, we all agree with that goal; it's the surgical technique that should be reevaluated. Hysterectomy and vasectomy can be performed as early as 8 weeks of age with no negative side effects, rendering dogs sterile AND hormonally balanced.

"Early studies suggested that intact dogs displayed more problematic behaviors, and neutering was thought to improve certain behaviors, such as roaming, mounting, urinary marking, and intermale aggression [48,49,50,51]. These early conclusions likely contributed to the widespread belief that neutering is a reliable solution for unwanted behaviors. However, more recent studies have raised concerns about the potential for neutering to increase fear, anxiety, and aggression-related behaviors in both male and female dogs. Neutered dogs have been reported to exhibit more fear, nervousness, panic, social withdrawal, and even heightened aggression [44,52,53,54,55,56,57]. Therefore, caution must be exercised when considering neutering as a solution for behavioral issues.
Studies have reported higher risks for developing reproductive, urinary, metabolic, and musculoskeletal disorders in neutered dogs. Additionally, some studies suggest increases in stress, fear, anxiety, and even certain types of aggression following neutering.

The decision to neuter pet dogs remains a significant and ongoing debate from ethical, animal health, and animal welfare perspectives. Millions of dogs worldwide are considered integral family members, and their behavior, as well as the bond they form with their owners, play a key role in the decision to keep them as pets. When behavioral problems arise, neutering is often viewed as a potential solution. However, by removing the source of sexual hormones, neutering creates the potential for both beneficial and harmful effects on a dog’s health and behavior."

Rundown Ranch Cattle Dogs, LLC

We have been raising Australian Cattle Dogs since 1998. Unfortunately we found that most of the Cattle Dogs in our area have health problems due to poor breeding and decided that we wanted to change that.

We have spent a significant amount of time seeking out the best kennels across the nation. We make sure that our breeding stock have good blood lines and are fully health tested. It is important to us that we raise beautiful healthy dogs with good personalities and working drive. Even if you are not looking for a working dog, it should still have the right traits and drive.

All of our dogs are treated like family and are handled daily. We take a little bit different approach to feeding and healthcare than most breeders. We don’t just look at the cost of care, we look at the quality first and foremost. All of our dogs are insured through Trupanion and each puppy from a litter will come with limited benefits.

Here at the Rundown Ranch we only feed raw diets once the puppy reaches 12 months of age. During the transition from mother’s milk to raw, we feed a combination of a top quality natural kibble and raw food. Even their treats and bones are important. We found a quality commercial treat that consists of only 5 natural ingredients with no colors or fillers. And you can always find a raw beef bone or two (or three or more) laying around for them to gnaw. Bones provide important nutrients from the marrow and help keep their teeth clean and white. They also help prevent chewing on the wrong things. Like people, dogs need additional vitamins and supplements. Cattle dogs are active and require joint care from an early age to minimize arthritis and joint related issues. We regularly do blood work to monitor their overall health. Our dogs are in excellent condition and it shows in their coats and annual exams.
