Vasectomy and ovary-sparing spay in dogs: comparison of health and behavior outcomes with gonadectomized and sexually intact dogs.

Objective: To compare health and behavior outcomes for dogs that underwent vasectomy or ovary-sparing spay (hysterectomy) with sexually intact dogs or dogs that had undergone traditional castration or spay.

Sample: 6,018 dog owners responded to a web-based survey between November 3, 2021, and January 7, 2022.

Procedures: Participants were asked demographic questions and to provide information about 1 or more dogs (living or deceased).

Effects of jump height on forelimb landing forces in border collies.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of jump height on the landing forces of dogs.

Animals: Client-owned Border Collies experienced in agility competition, = 9.

Procedures: The study involved client owned border collies with the same AKC standard jump height of 20 inches and preferred height of 16 inches.

Working Dog Structure: Evaluation and Relationship to Function.

Working dogs help to keep society and individuals safe, secure, and healthy. To perform their varied functions, it is critical to select dogs that are structurally sound and capable of demonstrating power, coordination and agility. Characteristics such as size and substance, head and axial skeletal structure, chest size and conformation, and thoracic and pelvic limb angulation should be evaluated to select the optimal combination of characteristics to suit the tasks to which each dog will be assigned.

Aggression toward Familiar People, Strangers, and Conspecifics in Gonadectomized and Intact Dogs.

Gonadectomy is widely used to treat and prevent behavior problems including the aggressive behavior of dogs. The aim of this study was to determine whether aggressive behavior toward familiar people, strangers, or other dogs was significantly different in dogs gonadectomized at various ages vs. intact dogs using the Canine Behavioral Assessment Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ) with multivariate analysis.
