Thank you for this information. I believe neutering and spaying is a personal choice for every owner to make that will affect their dog's life. I believe in neutering and spaying animals, but I will keep this information in mind. I am going to neutered Joshie. I do not want him marking in my house, and I hate trying to stop him from trying to hump my Shih Tzu (Hey, he is a dog). I saw on a dog-training show that neutering male dogs helps to prevent male aggression between male dogs. I like the benefits of neutering and spaying my dogs. I know all surgeries are risky. All owners need to do what is best for their dog. I think people stress fixing animals, because so many puppies do not find homes. Unlike most owners on Yorkie Talk, many owners do not monitor their dogs when they are in heat and get puppies that do not find homes unfortunately. I agree that this information needs to be shared with the public, so that everybody can make an informed decision. I am sad that Millie and the OP's dog might have been affected negatively by getting fixed.
