Will the personality of our Yorkies change after spaying?

Question

I am having my mini yorkies (twins, Females, 7 months old, pre-heat) spayed tomorrow morning and am wondering if anyone knows how their temperament might change as a result? Both are a wonderful 50/50 combo of sweetness and spirited energy. Can we expect anything different?

Also, we are having them micro-chipped but I must admit that we were sort of talked into this by the vet - neither of us have any experience with such a thing. Any issues with doing this??

Thank you!!! (By the way...I've yet to learn what you get for answering questions here but I hope it's substantial because I find the people on here who take the time to do it to be wonderful.)

Answer 1

Flattery will get you everywhere :0)

I spay all my dogs, usually I have females. Right now though we have all males....I find that after they get spayed they put on weight.....We have a mastiff, Saint Bernard which both were fixed before I was around them, then our Australian Shepherd mix. The mix I had fixed and he ballooned.
The females I have always had seam to be calmer after fixed. I have had Australian Shepherds for the last 24 years or something ridiculous, last one passing on two years ago from a seizure (I finally found a breeder who is having puppies soon woo hoo).
You will not have to worry about them having there period and running off to meet there boyfriends. Or there boyfriends coming to your home eating all the food and never leaving.... :0)
I have worked around Yorkies and they to seam to get calmer when spayed.....
I am sure you will be happy with the girls and they will be happy and live so much longer....

It depends. I hate to tell you that. No one can ever tell you that the temperment of a dog is determined. That is never the case. I have a 1 year old Chihuahua that was fixed and now he is more hyper then he was before he was fixed! The vet said he would be more mellow. I have another Chihuahua that was the opposite. My point is you can never tell. Don't let anyone tell you that it's a definate thing. Micro chipping is really good. It means that if steals your dog and the vet checks them they will contact you and you will get your dog back. I highly suggest that you get it done.

I have a male yorkie and we had him neutered about 6 months ago... and to be honest he is still as sweet as ever and has tons of energy... and he has not gained much weight because he runs all the time. Good luck to you... I don't know much about the female spaying but maybe it will turn out like my male .... Take care.

Answer 4

i'm on the fence approximately microchipping. i've got seen my vet incredibly consult with people who're interested in it and he weighs the alternatives for them. we've some purchasers who enable their canines to roam loose with the purpose to talk, and a few who've canines that they coach and others that return and forth with their canines. In any of those situations, the potential for a canines the two getting loose or in all likelihood being taken are achievable. Microchipping is a solid theory in those situations. canines that are especially lively (very lots so) could properly be calmed down somewhat getting neutered. I even have cats and that i've got by no capability observed any differences in them from earlier to after. they don't seem to be lazy and fats..they are the comparable as they have continually been. i do no longer think of which you will see lots of a metamorphosis on your adult men the two. The microchipping would not take lots time and this is a solid component to have in simple terms on the off risk that one or the two get loose and lost. while you're actually not delicate with it nonetheless, are not getting it finished.

Answer 5

We couldnt ever really tell the difference after having our Yorkies spayed. They didnt seem as "bitchy" afterwards.
Both girls turned out fine.
Never had any chips put in them. No idea about that.
