That is thought-provoking! I neutered Ben this year. Candy was spayed when she was young and I am waiting on Annie -- she is still too small. I think if you are not going to breed,they should be neutered or spayed. Just prevents the puppy question altogether and can prevent or reduce the chance of many other problems. It is a personal decision and as long pet owners are being responsible, I think the choice should be up to them.
