"Spaying a female dog will sometimes result in an increase in testosterone
influence, if they produce androgenic (testosterone-like) hormones at higher
levels than most females and then the suppressing effect of
estrogen is removed due to spaying. This can cause an increase in aggressive
or dominance behaviors. It is possible to test for hormonal levels."

So here's the galactically stupid question for the week - we spay our bitches
and neuter our dogs that we don't intend to breed. Since we don't give THEM
hormone replacement, what, if any, effect does it have on the bitches? Do
they go through a menopause?
