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. |
My Grandmother had an intact male dog, who was the sweetest thing ever he was 5 years old and did not display any "negative" male dog behaviors! She decided to get him fixed because her vet recommended since he was aging, the next time i went to visit her and her dog after the neuter surgery he was a little demon! He lifted his leg up relentlessly in front of us and pee'd on everything! he was evil towards my mother and younger sisters female dogs. When ever we caught him chewing something he was not supposed to chew on, and tried to take it from him he would bite us. I personally think that the surgery made him worst. My grandmother feel terrible because she feels like she has saddened her little shadow and made him angry with her. He isnt active at all, like he used to and he is turning fat.
My dog is an angel and he will continue to be that way... Its completely ridiculous to say that my now sweet and great dog will change just because he doenst get fixed! There are plenty of intact male dogs who are the sweetest thing ever. There is no solid scientific evidence that says that getting a male dog fixed will prevent it from being agressive. Then we must think of all the male dogs that are used as show dogs! those dogs are the most well behaved dogs, and they arent fixed! so i personally dont think you should try to scare me into wanting to fix my dog. he will never change because the way he is, is his character. It takes proper training and lots of love to make any dog fixed or not well behaved sweet as ever.
