Honestly, I think neutered/spayed dogs make much better pets. Would you want to risk him getting out and impregnating another dog or getting hit by a car because of his drive? Just those two factors were enough to convince me to neuter Couver...

Buzz is so mellow, I don't think he has a drive...I'm afraid if I get him neutered, he'll be walking backwards lol...As far as getting out, I had a gate installed on my front porch, so when the front door is open, they can't escape...I have a 6 1/2' redwood fence, in the backyard, w/a lock on the gate 24/7...And, besides, they are never out w/o me hovering over them...Honestly, Buzz is such a perfect pet, I'm afraid to get him neutered and mess him up...He hasn't marked, since this morning, so I'm going to see if this was just a fluke...Of course, I expressed my anger, when he did mark, and I'm thinking he heard me
