My thoughts: I have one female chin, my dad has one male chin, and they are siblings. I'd really like to put them together, since they both used to have cage-mates, but presumably one of them would need to be fixed first.
We haven't put them together too much, and I know it does take time, but is there any more of a chance that they will get along if he is fixed? Last time they were near eachother, he was kind of spazzy, so will fixing him tame him at all? Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks much for any input!

Remember that even after neutering him you have to keep them apart for a while because he would still be able to get her pregnant.

Neutering males who have been aggressive to their cage mates can be one way to help them accept cage mates.

Be sure your vet is experienced in neutering chins or like animals, unlike dogs they have retractable testicles which makes them different to neuter.
