Handsome Mijne withdrawn from breeding program.

My Soul Saver, our handsome Mijne has been neutered two weeks ago. It has been a long 'contemplative road' but we, I decided after 4.5 years, that Mijne isn't stud material. Why it has taken so long, is also a very long story, but basically it is for two reasons. First of all it is my understanding that Mijne has ADHD in combination with a form of autism. i have been reading a lot about dogs and behavior, especially scientific research on dogs with (born) behavior issues. As of day one that Mijne came to live with us we knew something was off. He panics very easily and once he starts whining, howling, he can't stop. He's in his 'own world' and at that moment forgets all about his surroundings. He's hard to keep in control, like when walking with him and he sees something out of the ordinary he MUST and go see what it is, even if that means he has to drag me. I don't know if it's genetic or not, it seems that way because his only male sibling has the same behavior problems, but I don't want to take the risk that his offspring also ends up with the same issues. And I don't want puppy buyers to go through the same things with their puppy as we did, and still do.
Because of his ADHD behavior issues, Mijne has a hard time to focus. He's very easy distracted and for that reason alone he's not stud material. So this is also a reason why we decided it's time to have Mijne neutered. I am glad we got him neutered because now he can stay with the girls, even when in heat.
But because Mijne is a very handsome boy and such a fun, loving dog I have been sad also that this chapter is closed for good. But it was the only right decision to make.
