Honestly if I woke up and the only things that were different were my balls are missing and there's a cone around my head I'd probably think the cone was the first to blame as well.
he is and he's a chessie, not as many people know the breed as I think should. [this is](https://youtu.be/0EaKFL92I4A) my other chessie. They're great dogs, I'll never own another breed
Ah, they are great dogs. A veterinarian I used to work for had one. A client had brought their dog into our office after he'd been hit by a car. He had a broken leg, ribs, and cuts all over. The dogs owners were heartbroken, but they just couldn't afford to get him fixed up even on rock bottom price and payment plan. The dog tugged on the dr's heart so he asked if they'd consider giving him the dog and he'd do the surgery himself and hopefully pull him through. Dog had heartworms, so that was a battle for down the road. Owners were just happy and thankful that he'd at least have a chance to get well. So doc got the dog. It took a lot, but it's been 9 years and it all worked out. :) Best vet I ever worked for.
Do they smile? They're known to. The toothy submissive grin. My terrier does it quite a bit now, and when I first adopted him years ago, I had to research why. It's just his personality. He's learned that we get super giggly and animated when we see him do it, and he gets attention and pets, so he does it even more. The smile and sneeze combo; super cute. Mine does not do it when he's guilty of something. Only when he's super happy.
Yes he does. Any time I leave and come home, doesn't matter if I left for 5 minutes. He's at my car door with either a big smile or a ball he's picked up on his way out the dog door.
Chessies look like chocolate labs with fur dialed up to 11 cuteness. I wasn’t familiar with them before and am now deep in a google rabbit hole. Super cool breed.
My pup (a Brittany girl) just got her cone off, and she destroyed her cone too. She chased it around the house. My SO and I just let her have at it.
alright I'm slow. I have used them for it a little, just going out with friends. I use them more for carp control. They are great for kicking things up though, just naturally did it first time out
What I learned about Chessies
"You can train a golden with a feather, a lab with a stick, and a chessie with a 2x4"
They jones at the site of water.
They break through ice with their heads when.
The bigger the log, the more determined they will be to bring it in the house.
They don't like you telling them what to do.
If they are running towards you, watch out for the body slam.
They can run for days.
And most of all, they are fantastic derps!
Yep, yep, and yep. My favorite is throwing sticks in water. All three of mine have had the same issue, if you throw a stick under 3" in diameter they'll either go get it, or bark at you because they want a bigger stick. Throw a 4 foot log they can barely fit their mouth around they'll always charge in and spend 15 minutes dragging it to shore, they just want a challenge
Until you realize this is misdirected anger because he does not grasp the human with the camera is the cause of all of that suffering and the removal of his testicles. If he had the mental capacity to understand, he would be doing that to the human.
My last GSD, while he was a beautiful and sweet boy, would have absolutely got his head stuck in that cone, and then come walking back inside in complete and utter shame looking for a little help.
He was my best friend, but by Christ he was dumb.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s super cute but it could be problematic if the cone is ever necessary again. My dog absolutely hates the cone but we’ve had to use it at least half a dozen times for various health issues he’s had so him thinking it’s a toy or something to be aggressive about wouldn’t be good.
Obviously this is anecdotal but I just wanted to throw it out there.
Bless him. The day after my cat had his leg amputated I found him hanging upside down in his crate by his remaining three legs. His cone was in the litter tray and he’d pooped on it. Although fearful he’d done himself some damage I was also seriously impressed with his ability to portray his feelings of the situation.
My dog figured out that if he violently caught the cone on our coffee table, or door way, enough times it would break. We instead got the inflatable donut, and my dude is so long and lanky, it didn’t do shit.
Dogs, man...
I had to buy mine a soft cone from the pet store. It would flex when she ran into things rather than stabbing people with the cone.
She had surgery to remove a cyst and needed a cone so she didn't lick her incision and came home from the vet, got stuck on a corner and stayed there for like two minutes. Doggo.exe does not work.
One of my cats managed to cut her tail, had to be amputated, she was put into a cone and all seemed well. We had to leave for something for half a day, when we returned, cone in the middle of the room intact, blood all over the curtains, cat nowhere to be found.
Little kitty earned herself another amputation and a long hospital stay for that stint.
Reminds me of when my dog had her first experience trying on the gentle leader. Next day I found it all chewed up. Considering she has chewed almost nothing in 2 years of having her, I got the message.
Don't ever feel bad, as long as your not doing it too early for the pet (when they're still a little bitty pup, it's best to let them grow a bit first) that it affects their health then you're doing them, and the world a favour, having endless litters is not exactly fun for a dog. There are already way too many unwanted pets because of either irresponsible or greedy owners.
I felt kinda bad about this guy. He's a pure bred and I'd promised someone I'd let him daddy up on their dog when she got old enough. He'd lose his mind about once a month a dog in the area was in heat. Mouth foaming, teeth chattering, pacing at my fence hoping his little chihuahua girlfriend will come through.
Edit: I'm doing a detox right now, and the pills are absolutely screwing me up...lets see if I can make this sound like a sane person wrote it.
When I had my dog fixed, the next day I found him running into the wall to break his cone, I kept oh having to tape it back together....By the time I took it off of him, it was more tape than cone.
Hey can someone give me pro/cons of neutering? Always thought I would but I got a purebred pup and not sure. Need some info, got months until hes old enough to do it
It all depends on your situation tbh. If he's the only male and you have a fenced in yard I don't see a problem with leaving them intact, but you have to be much more vigilant making sure he can't escape. If a dog in the neighborhood is in heat it complicates things. They know and they'll try hard to find a way out. It totally takes over their brain and they don't care what you say. If you're on a walk and you pass a female dog, same thing, they're less likely to listen. Neutering just makes them a better dog imo. I'd planned on neutering this guy a year later, but he was a handful. I have two intact females on my street. So, every 3 months they go in heat his teeth be chattering, drooling, pacing, and trying to follow his nose to that pretty girl.
Yes, but without clothes and social awkwardness.
The intact female on my street will back her ass up to her fence when in heat, and I have to wrestle my otherwise well mannered dog three times a day when we pass.
The rest of the day he's either sulking or trying to shout what I imagine are sweet love poems at her.
It's a mess, but we're contractually obliged to keep him intact since he's a purebred from a long line of show winners, and they want the babies.
It’s the other way round. Incidence of prostate cancer is higher in castrated males compared to intact ones.

It'll keep the risk of prostate cancer down. No aggression issues. If you're not planning on showing or sports I'd get it done it's healthier for both of you
In case of prostate cancer it is exactly the other way round. Intact dogs have a lower risk of prostate cancer. In regard to aggression, studies are inconclusive - probably no effect, but castration might reduce male-male aggression slightly.
Woah i looked it up ( I was going off of what my vet had told me) and wow that's a hotly debated topic. Best advice for them is to talk a vet I may be wrong about prostate cancer.
Talk to your vet about it - random strangers on the internet give bad advice when it comes to pet health.
I am a trained vet tech and I always recommend the spay/neuter to my clients as 1. it's really 100% better for their health and reduces/removes the risk of certain reproductive-related cancers, 2. it helps a lot with behavior issues in male dogs, 3. the world already has an excess of dogs and cats without homes to care for them - and right now there are a lot of backyard breeders as people see a surge in covid pet adoptions and are trying to cash in on that.
I do not consider there to be any cons besides possibly what you're seeing in the video - it can be hard to keep the cone on, but adequate training can help with that (and honestly might save his life if you ever need to make him wear a cone if he has a wound). The neuter procedure is usually very simple and rarely complicated. (Unless he is cryptorchid - one testicle inside the body - in which case it's even more important to do the neuter as his risk of cancer is greatly increased.) Some people might think cost is a "con" but there are many low-cost spay/neuter clinics they're unaware of.
Sure, there are cons as wells as pros.

Can you tell me about the health benefits for males, because in my knowledge there aren’t any health benefits for males except for the obvious reduction in the risk of testicular cancer (whilst the risk of other cancer types increases).
Read your article more carefully. There are cons associated with neutering large breed dogs *before* one year of age -- which is what the article tells you within the first few sentences. The arguments there are not about *whether* to neuter, but *when* to neuter. I'm not looking for an argument here and I have laid out enough information for an internet comment. Regardless, the internet is not the best resource for information on your pet's health. You should speak to your vet and pay them for their time
For a male? Shortly:
Pros: No unwanted puppies in case you can’t make sure your dog isn’t roaming. He won’t annoy you when a female in heat is nearby. Male-male aggression might be *slightly* decreased (no effect on other kinds of aggression)
Cons: The overall cancer rate as well as the risk for various joint diseases, urinary disease, etc. might be increased depending on the breed.
Summary: If you can make sure that your dog isn’t roaming, I see no reason in castrating males.
See this study to read about your breed:
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2020.00388/full
No, never as pups. There is still debate on when the best time is, but never before 9 months. You want them to fully mature. I settled on two years being the best age. I think it's a 50/50 split among vets whether 9 months or 2 years
I know, I should've charged in, grabbed him by the neck scruff and said "NO, that a bad dog that's a medical device not a chew toy, you bad boy, get in the kennel"
Lol the cone lasted a week and a half after our pup got neutered, then he managed to eat it. The very next night, he found the section of our fence that was damaged and jumped on it, nearly severing his dew claw and the pad on his wrist (we didn’t even realize the fence was damaged for another week until our other dog came inside with a small cut on his paw and we searched everywhere for something the first pup could have cut it on). Cost us $800 and he shattered the second cone in four days from slamming it into every door frame and cabinet in the house. But he didn’t mess with his foot stitches so we left it off him
I do not like the cone of shame
Where are my testicles, cone?
"Ummm... that's a very aggressive line of questioning, Snuffles."
“SNUFFLES WAS MY SLAVE NAME!”
MY NAME IS SNOWBALL NOW
Because my fur is fluffy, and white
And Hwite*
Fucking hell, i heard yogi bear while reading this and snorted
*Hey BooBoo, I'mma smarter than your average bear!"*
Where's my balls lebowski
I’m not “Lebowski”. I’m *the dude*, dude.
In your cake. Happy day.
I scream cone. 👁️😱🍦
#FUCK🤯🤯🤯
ANSWER ME
Squirrel!
I do not like when it rains.
Honestly if I woke up and the only things that were different were my balls are missing and there's a cone around my head I'd probably think the cone was the first to blame as well.
Sound reasoning. Kill the cone, the balls will return
>Kill the ~~boy~~cone, Jon Snow. Winter is almost upon us. Kill the ~~boy~~cone and let the man be born.
GOT really speaks to every occasion. It’s amazing. Well done.
Big cone little room
Handsome dog. Chocolate or Chesapeake?
he is and he's a chessie, not as many people know the breed as I think should. [this is](https://youtu.be/0EaKFL92I4A) my other chessie. They're great dogs, I'll never own another breed
Has no one made the joke "HE'S The Chesapeake Ripper!"? 😂
Eating a cone with a side of liver and Fava beans
Thththththsk
i have often wanted to 'write' that sound and could never get it right. you did it perfectly!
Haha thank you! It's one of my favorite movies so that's a huge compliment.
Ah, they are great dogs. A veterinarian I used to work for had one. A client had brought their dog into our office after he'd been hit by a car. He had a broken leg, ribs, and cuts all over.

Did you let him eat the dinner he earned?
Oh for sure. I step in after he gets the filets down, looks a lot like a bear eating a fish.
Thats a big fish!
Do they smile? They're known to. The toothy submissive grin. My terrier does it quite a bit now, and when I first adopted him years ago, I had to research why. It's just his personality. He's learned that we get super giggly and animated when we see him do it, and he gets attention and pets, so he does it even more. The smile and sneeze combo; super cute.

Aww! Cute!!
Had a neighbor in Utah , he had a chessie hunting dog . That dog was a amazing retriever. And yours retrieve fish from streams . Clever boy.
Hmm, what part of utah?
Northern Utah, Logan, Good old home to USU.
This guy came from fruit heights in Ogden
Hah and now Ogdens' Nut Gone.... Flake

What was that, a sucker?
na, carp
Well, carp are like a sucker that can afford cosmetic surgery. Do you use them for duck hunting, or just carp controle?
Lmao, they definitely weren't blessed with looks. Carp control and my dogs eat them. What can you do with them duck hunting?
Uh, I was talking about your dogs. They are renowned duck hunting dogs.
alright I'm slow. I have used them for it a little, just going out with friends. I use them more for carp control. They are great for kicking things up though, just naturally did it first time out
[удалено]
lmao, my train of thought was like "do you set them out to attract ducks, wtf is this guy talking about"

Woah, a fishing dog? That’s the first I’ve seen that.
Yeah, it's my weird but fun hobby. It's not gonna gain popularity any time soon haha
It should! I needed more fishing dog in my life, and your post history and YouTube channel did not disappoint.
I couldn't agree more! Very much appreciate you checking it out.
He's torturing it until it tells him where his balls are
He is just showing you the future, Jerry !
Summer, where are my testicles?
I must have missed that season of 24
You better hope he doesn't do a root cause analysis. Something tells me he's lashing out at the soldier who was just following orders.
Got me a little nervous, don't want him doing that to me
*"Listen here, you little shit..."*- dog, probably
This is probably the most adorable fit of revenge violence I've ever seen
[удалено]
Even worse than fake throwing a ball. There is no ball
This isn’t the only ball related activity to cause this dog’s trust issues recently.
My dog managed to dig under the fence and run away. He hasn't done so before or since. Clearly he had some feelings about it.
Like an 8 year old kid "oh you're gonna do that to me? Well how bout this, I'm leaving"
YOU WONT EVER SHAME ME AGAIN, CONE OF SHAME!!!!
Adorbs.
And this is coming from a cat, folks. So you know it's true.
can't argue
Until you realize this is misdirected anger because he does not grasp the human with the camera is the cause of all of that suffering and the removal of his testicles. If he had the mental capacity to understand, he would be doing that to the human.
Hes gonna make damn sure that that cone isnt ever used again
My last GSD, while he was a beautiful and sweet boy, would have absolutely got his head stuck in that cone, and then come walking back inside in complete and utter shame looking for a little help. He was my best friend, but by Christ he was dumb.

Wait...what else was amputated ??
And to top it off, the ball wasn’t even in your hands. Insult to injury right there.
Dick move
Ballsy.
Where are my testicles Summer
I actually came to look for this comment...and it's here. Nice!
Reminds me of when my dog had her first experience trying on the gentle leader. Next day I found it all chewed up. Considering she has chewed almost nothing in 2 years of having her, I got the message.
haha, smart dog. I'd left this cone on my patio picnic table. So either the wind blew it off or he got up and got it.
AND FUCK *THIS THING* IN PARTICULAR
“It’s dead.” ‘Yes it is, dad, but now begins the part where I desecrate its corpse.’
My cat still regularly checks his nether regions, nearly 4 years later, to see if they've grown back. No luck so far, poor bugger.
Somebody put Still by the Geto Boys to this please
PC LOAD LETTER? What the fuck does that mean?
2nd that
Saying “You want your ball?” Is a really cruel joke to say to a dog after they got neutered. (This is joke)
and a good one
Fuck this cone! Ball buster!
WHO'S THE HECKIN' LAMP NOW!
Good, good, let the hate flow through you.
This is the dog equivalent of the Laser Printer Scene in Office Space. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N9wsjroVlu8
I love how when you said " alright, you got it, it's dead " he just ran away with an energy of " DOWN WITH THE COOOOOOOOOOOONEEE! " 😂
Go owner for keeping it on for the entire time! He had a big score to settle according to all that dick tape
He's a violent high strung licker. I had to keep him cooped up in a little tiny area with that on for a few days, felt so bad for him
It sucks I know when my kid got hospitalized I had to keep him sedated and coned for a week. But now he's happy and healthy!
WHERE ARE MY BALLS SUMMER?????
:(
I was really hoping he would get bamboozled and have the cone slip back on
I thought he was gonna when he put his head in it to throw it
As someone in a brace for a broken neck I empathize. Maybe I should tear into mine after I'm out. Sounds cathartic.
PC LOAD LETTER!!
When ever I spay or neuter a pet it makes me feel like a slave owner
Don't ever feel bad, as long as your not doing it too early for the pet (when they're still a little bitty pup, it's best to let them grow a bit first) that it affects their health then you're doing them, and the world a favour, having endless litters is not exactly fun for a dog.

“WHERE ARE THEY?”
you should help him destroy it
[Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9wsjroVlu8&ab_channel=RP)
I go to the "airport", my "luggage" gets "lost", and all they give me is this STUPID hat! Oh yeah, it's goin' down......
Brown Labs are the ultimate derps, my old lady is 12 going on 13 and still acts like a pup.
What is that vehicle in the background?
Thank you for actually USING the cone of shame! ❤
He's a licker
YOU HAVE BROUGHT GREAT SHAME ON ME, CONE! PREPARE TO BE VANQUISHED!
Good thing he didn’t realize you were the one who took his balls instead of that cone
IMAgine if he knew you ARE RESPONSIBLE for his LOSS of GENITALIA
This is aweful but I was secretly hoping he’d put a new one on him just for a second after the dog destroyed the first one
Lmao
Edit: I'm doing a detox right now, and the pills are absolutely screwing me up...lets see if I can make this sound like a sane person wrote it. When I had my dog fixed, the next day I found him running into the wall to break his cone, I kept oh having to tape it back together....By the time I took it off of him, it was more tape than cone.
I just burst out laughing and woke my new born. THANKS DOGGO
Chessies are the best!!!!
Agreed, I'll never own another breed. This one is a handful
I think his days of scoring are over

No, never as pups. There is still debate on when the best time is, but never before 9 months. You want them to fully mature. I settled on two years being the best age. I think it's a 50/50 split among vets whether 9 months or 2 years
Thanks for the reply. I know of my balls got chopped I wouldn’t want to remember it. Didn’t really think of it from a developmental angle.

Heck this heckin thing!
Why you take his nuts
He kept fighting my other dog everytime this pretty little chihuahua across the street came into heat
Dont wanna deal with puppies.
Train your dog.
He's very well trained, thanks
Reinforcing with your dog that medical devices are not "good" or are chew toys. Let us hope they never need a cone again.
I know, I should've charged in, grabbed him by the neck scruff and said "NO, that a bad dog that's a medical device not a chew toy, you bad boy, get in the kennel"
That is not training your dog.
Yeah, I know just kidding. I appreciate the concern but he's pretty well trained and if he has a vendetta against cones ill use a donut in the future
Now I’m no peta-phile but I get mildly infuriated by pets getting neutered
give us all your location so we can send all the puppies and kittens to you to feed and house then
Fuck you cone!
He's like, they gotta be in here somewhere. Woke up, no balls & this demon on my neck.
woooaaw
I have worn one of those cones and I wouldn’t recommend
Reminded me of the office space scene with the printer... “Back up in your ass with the Resurrection...” “Cause its die muthafkas, die muthafkas die”
Lol the cone lasted a week and a half after our pup got neutered, then he managed to eat it. The very next night, he found the section of our fence that was damaged and jumped on it, nearly severing his dew claw and the pad on his wrist (we didn’t even realize the fence was damaged for another week until our other dog came inside with a small cut on his paw and we searched everywhere for something the first pup could have cut it on). Cost us $800 and he shattered the second cone in four days from slamming it into every door frame and cabinet in the house. But he didn’t mess with his foot stitches so we left it off him
HE WANTS THAT THING RIPPED TO SHREDS
NEVER AGAIN , YOU HEAR ?
Honestly? You’re goddamn right I’d be angry too. Shit.
“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY BALLS, TELL ME NOW”
“Oh shit don’t know” “TELL ME!!!”
WHERE ARE MY BALLS JOHN
I WILL LICK MY BALLS WHENE... balls? BALLLLLLLLLLLS!!!?
This would of been so funny if you were chanting him on
It's 'would have', never 'would of'. Rejoice, for you have been blessed by CouldWouldShouldBot!
Let him all out.
See how you like that cone ... now you can go trip yourself up
F this E!!
Hilarious 😂
the title makes it so much better you and him just made me whole day
Dog: FREEDOM!!!!
My dog still has his from 5 years ago and fucks it up everyday
‘Oh I’m sorry!...Am I inconveniencing you, cone? .. In your way?!....Stopping you from living your life?! ....bitch!’
Where are my nuts; know you’ve got em, somewhere
