One thing I didn't know is that a male can get a sexually transmitted disease from a female even if it's the first time for both. Unless he's actually breeding to improve the breed he will be adding to the ever-increasing population of dogs, and it's really hard to find homes for them all. Boys can experience personally changes and be more interested in the girl down the street than anything else. I'm glad you are helping educate this man. You might also want to tell him that the number one cause of death in unneutered males is due to injuries received in a car accident. Unneutered males tend to run away a lot. The sooner he neuters the less likely the dog will develop a marking problem. |
