If it would be impossible to prevent unwanted pregnancies for example, he would recommend spaying, or if a male makes life miserable with his marking idoors, for example. But he says there is no scientific evidence to sugges that spaying and /or neutering is healthier. Sure those dogs will never get testicular or mammary cancer because they do not hve those parts but that is not a reason to remove them from otherwise healthy dogs. I like his logic so since Hefner cam to me neutered and there is no chance of an unwanted pregnancy I am not going to spay them unless they start having false pregnancies or something else makes it advisable.
Just a personal decision I have made.
