I would have to dis-agree with the above statement. We have a intact male dogue de bordeaux (whom we show) and he's a wonderful dog. He lives inside with us and so far we haven't had any of the 'issues' the come along with intact male dogs. He's a little over a year old. I bought Bailey to show as well, and if he remains breed standard, then I'll keep him intact. Maybe USUALLY intact dogs don't make good pets, but there are always exceptions
