Dog castration.

[Shorty]

I agree Smiley. Works great at any age. Just don't expect it to happen over night. It takes awhile to work.

No way in hell I would castrate my own dogs. However I know a few houndsman whom I would have do my dogs for me. Ive seen it done enough times to do it myself. I simply dont have the courage to do it.

How come ya'll dont take them to the shelter or someplace cheap. Calf bands, DIY come on man show your dog some love

Ok I show my dogs more love than most. But if im raising dogs or ranch animals im going to cut where I can so I can do more of what I enjoy. I simply wanted to know if any complications could occur using a calf band. I know how to cut pigs and horses and bulls. I've never done a dog yet. I would not do something to risk em. I probably could do as shorty said but I was hoping a cheap and painless way would be ok.

I lost a goat to the bands. I guess the flies got to him. I will never do that a again. If I get anymore goats or need a dog done it will go to the vet.

I have castrated my own dogs for years. Wagging tail when you get done. I do agree you ought to know what you are doing though.
