radley has been fine right up until now... he is still fully intact but i am now wondering if its time to book him in for the op.
a few weeks ago he got growled at by a cocker spaniel but to be fair it wasnt unprovoked, radley likes to have a good old sniff at other dogs and i think he overstepped the mark with this particular one and he was put in his place.
a couple of days later he was on the lead and a fat little dog waddled up to radley and for no obvious reason (other than radley was on the lead) started to snap and growl at him (slightly x as owner didnt call dog back) radley then retaliated as one would maybe expect and it nearly came to a haye v klitscho senario.
since then if a dog bigger than a mouse approaches radley he growls at them. i have started to tell owners whose dogs are off lead that i am a little wary as he has started to growl at other dogs now. strangely though, he never growls at bandit, his doggie friend who he has known since we brought radley home (bandit is without hazlenuts!)
radley is approaching 1.6 yrs old and i am now wondering if the testosterone is heavily kicking in and i need to get them hazlenuts off!
advise appriciated please xxxxxx
