Re: NFC Rawhide's Clown son

Power of the pedigree. If its from a consistence line bred breeding you should no what you have with a 10 month old pup. Having said this im speaking from line breeding and no nothing about this clown dog. And at 10 months old i think you no if hes a keeper or not.

Good advice so far. If performance is important to you than spaying will defenitly will slower her down. You will still have a good hunting dog just not the motor you had before. Its harder to keep weight off and they loose muscle defenition.
