I will always have my dogs spayed/neutered if I'm not breeding them. And I also require all my puppies to be spayed/neutered by their new owners.
Why take the risk of having them develop pyometra or cancer because you didn't spay or neuter them?
Also they do seem much happier after being spayed/neutered as they don't have to deal with all those hormones.
I would like to add at 1 years old, your boy is still very young. Count your blessings that he hasn't showed any marking or aggressive behavior but don't expect it to stay that way. They all mature at different times. My friend's male didn't show any of these behaviors until he was about 2 years old. |
Did you know pyometra is actually rare? It is caused from not being bred.
Did you know HUMANS can get pyometra? So I guess we should all have our female organs removed to keep it from possibly happening. Or keep us from getting uterine or ovarian cancer.
And men of course would be so much better behaved if they were castrated
And just because a dog is not neutered does not mean he will be aggressive or mark. I grew up with all intact dogs, male and female and we never had that issue, ever! My dads dogs lived to be old dogs of 15-17 years old. All hunting dogs.
I have seen plenty of neutered dogs that mark and are aggressive. I also know of plenty of dogs to get cancer even after being spayed.
Also, it is NOT breast cancer, it is mammary
gland cancer and they can get it spayed or not.
