The reason I think it's wrong is because i feel like I'd be tampering with something that wasnt intended to be tampered with. I know there are benefits and risks with getting it done or not getting it done, and i understand the whole bigger picture for why its so widely accepted. I just feel so terrible thinking of having it done to my baby. I feel like as an owner whom he trust and loves, im making him go through something that he really honestly just doesnt need to go through. After my friends dog died it really scared me because it made me feel like i was risking my little mans life for it. He is 1 year old and only 3lbs i originally planned on getting it done because i didnt want him to display all the dominant male behaviors, because when i got him i actually wanted a girl. however he doesnt act like that, he doesnt mark in my house, he doesnt hump anything, he isnt aggressive. He's perfect!! and i dont see why i would want to mess a good thing up. I love him and i take very good care of him and hope he lives a long and happy healthy life despite the fact he's intact, which to me isnt a big deal since that is how he was created.
however i do not knock anyone who has got it done because as someone said earlier its all about how you feel and what makes you comfortable as a owner, and i think we have all made our decisions for really good reason. Personally its about what us as individuals feel is the right thing to do for our pets.
