&lt;p&gt;Not really sure if this will be much help, but Sarah Heath recommended one of our clients used this...he was a VERY fear aggressive rhodesian ridgeback and she recommeneded this as it gives a clear indication of the effect surgical castration will have - rather than Tardak which can affect behaviour in itself rather than just being a result of the hormone changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His was a very different situation to yours, as it was possible castration would have made this dog much worse which is why we needed to be sure before surgery. The outcome in our case was that it didn&amp;#39;t have any major effects, but definitely no worse so we went ahead and castrated him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would have thought its worth a go to see if castration would actually affect the very specific behaviour in your case, rather than losing out on being able to show him only to find it doesn&amp;#39;t change his behaviour towards your bitch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
