The majority of veterinarians and breeders along with the thousands of people involved with rescue and shelter for the multitude of unwanted dogs in this country agree that neutering a pup that you choose not to use for breeding is the healthiest and most considerate choice to make. It is common sense that dogs minus their god given parts cannot develop diseases that are common to those parts and many. many accidental breedings occur in even the most careful situations.
If you are unaware of the health history many generations back in his pedigree there are a myriad of genetically linked issues that need researching before you make your decision. The realization that you are responsible for every life you create and any future progeny of those dogs also, is a large burden to accept. Be well informed before making this choice and best of luck to you whatever you decide. |
