I don't think that you will find much of a difference if you alter Judge. It does cut down on that selective hearing that they are so good at. Plus, altering him will definatley cut down on his risk of reproductive cancers big time!! Humping can still continue with an altered male because it is a sign of dominacne over another dog. I know a female Jack Russell that is endlessly humping bigger dogs. Just trying to tell them that she is boss I guess.
I think that the Monk's caps are great, it gives them a little something extra to talk about! Not that a Saint needs anything more to make them a little extra special, because they already are!!
