Although there is so hard proof, leaving them intact has been suggested to increase the chance of testicular cancer.
Fixing your dog will remove the roaming tendencies searching for sex with intact females. It will reduce conflict with other male dogs as they will smell the testosterone and it creates aggression in males, do you want your dog attacked?
Do yourself a favour and do a bit of research.
I've grown up a lot since I was sixteen with my first dog and got Teegy fixed when the time came. |
First of course if they have testicles they can have testicular cancer. Recent research indicates that about .01% of dogs will die from testicular cancer.
I have two un-neutered males and they have never run away from me. Actually in my experience and in the research most aggression comes from neutered animals, not un-neutered. And that is equal for females and males who have been neutered.
As you have also indicated in your post ; you did not take the time to train properly.
