its all on you what you want to do. I dont feel that you should have ever felt that you NEEDED to neuter just because people in here say you should. WHen i read in here i really have to go through and separate facts from strong opinions that seem like fact u know?
I know with my first i had no problems with him marking in my house because he is a really easy to train boy and willing to please and knows what he must to to get his way with me... I did have a problem with him marking up other people's homes especially if they had other dogs. He would hump people especially if that person owned a girl dog. So like you as long as he was INSIDE my home i really had no major problems.
When i got my second dog he Marked my home immediately where if he was neutered i would not have had that problem cause he was pee pad trained. he immediately tried to hump my first boy and he has a strong personality and i think neutering is the best thing for him.In hind site if it wasn't in my contract my first didn't necessarily need to be neuter. My second i would.. with two for me i think its a must but if i only had one. I would definitely not have neutered Ryoko my first but if i only had my second i would neuter him.
another thing is i wanted to remark that people in here said testicular cancer not just any cancer and I think thas valid if its like a 50 50 chance or something but i don't know the statistics and it didn't influence my decision at all. as for it being wrong period, i think that the reason its being done is to help control the pet population... forget what the breeder wants in this case who cares IMO, but if i can stop unwanted or mutts from being born if my boys gets loose i say its a good thing because its wrong to have so many animals that have to be put down because they are neglected and running the streets getting hit by cards and malnutrition's because no one will care for them. I am proud of people who can take in pets off the streets but i feel sorry for them because thas a heavy burden to bare on the heart and on the pockets of the do gooders.
as for AS for
the puppy becoming spoiled if not neutered, thats bull as well. I am thinking who in the f%$@# told u that...cause that just sounds like someone's opinion and is definitely not a fact because our pets, if they are indoor pets are spoiled more than most pets anyway.
I applaud you for being a non conformist in this situation and taking the information for yourself and making your own conclusion according to your own needs because thas exactly how this site is supposed to work.
God Bless
Kisses! lol

I see it as a wrong thing to do to a dog or anyone for that matter. Sure breeders will tell you otherwise, they dont want you breeeding dogs, they loose money. And doctors will almost always tell you to go for it!!! $$$$ for them. Its a business just like anything else out there, just like docking tails, $$, which is illegal in England.
Our doctor said to wait and decide later, but did not push me to do it or not do it, told me to wait.
AS for the puppy becoming spoiled if not neutered, thats bull as well. THe dog is either trained or conditioned from day one or not.
Please note, by no means am I trying to offend anyone or anyones lttle monkeys out there. This my personal belief and opinion, just wanted to share it with a Yorkie community.
Thanks! |
