Realizing that this article is a bit old and that you’ve probably had Lola neutered by now, I still feel obliged to say that the person telling you that it’s barbaric to leave your pet intact doesn’t know what they’re talking about. There are SOOOOO many reasons to neuter dogs, and it goes far beyond not having puppies.

Less aggression, less likelihood to roam, less restlessness, less problems with marking territory –

Also (and i’m copy/pasting here, because I wanted to make sure I didn’t forget anything): Spaying females prior to their first heat cycle nearly eliminates the risk of breast cancer and totally prevents uterine infections and uterine cancer. Neutering males prevents testicular cancer and enlargement of the prostate gland, and greatly reduces their risk for perianal tumors.
Neutered pets (dogs AND cats) live longer, healthier lives on average than intact pets. I spent nearly 4 years as a veterinary surgical assistant, and have 3 dogs of my own – all neutered.

Do you have the contact information for an amazing vet in Lima or Cusco?

Thanks!

I enjoy your webiste and articles – they keep me in touch with Peru (I lived there for a year and a half from 1976-1977). I’ve visited many times since.

However, I have to call you out on this one! Why would you ever even consider breeding your dog when there are so many homeless dogs in Peru?

[...] dogs are male, but a few are female – hembra as they say here in Peru. Most of the hembritas are not fixed, and when one of them is in heat, a whole pack of stray dogs gathers around the little park and [...]

Both of our dogs are spayed. Like you said, that seems like an easy choice back in the US. Here in Cusco there are a lot of strays, so it definitely makes life easier for us.

I can’t say I haven’t had second thoughts about it though, even more since people in the know started to tell us that Manchita is most likely a Blue Pitbull – meaning puppies would be worth somewhere north of $2,000 a piece in the US. Rufff

Yep , it’s true what you mention .. my parents didn’t want a female dog ,I only had male dog growing up
also another reason why people don’t fix their animals is because it’s expensive ! sometimes you just cannot afford it , we only got those free shots the government offered during the summer against rabies . my dog yogui lived 15 years without once going to the vet and only getting those free shots .
hehe.. I just realized the difference when people in the USA ask for the name of the dog but in Peru ..yep they ask if it is machito or hembrita ..hehehe…

cute dog barb!
