We’ve explained to El Hijo how much work it will be; I don’t think he has any idea. The kid better get used to cleaning the papers out of the crate/cage every day. But he is so excited…

Im peruvian and living in the US specifically in california .. where there happen to be many of us. But I do agree with you on the hembrita thing and also for the fact that people ask you constantly because the name is either femine or masculine.. so i assume its the same thing if you are asked boy of girl... anyway about the neautering thing your right Peruvians dont agree with it .. we believe to much in just being responsible in a way were .. we sometimes tend to be overprotective..I have a chow chow .. he is 3 years old and he has not been fixed either.. my parents dont think its normal ..but I think it has its benefits.. the dog would be much happier.. althought in peru they say you should at least let them have one litter so then they can release their stress .. but then operate.
