I think the pros are far greater than the cons. I'm no expert, but everyone knows about the unwanted dog overpopulation, & it's common sense that the only way to lower the numbers of euthanized pets it's by reducing the rate of their reproduction, aka neutering/spaying.
I neutered my dog around 6 months of age, 1) his public humping behavior was undesirable 2) to not make marking a habit 3) because I only wanted 1 dog, the only I can care & handle appropriately.
His humping behavior reduced to a 25%, his marking is the same! he's never been aggressive, well, his barking to strangers didnt change. but I believe I did good by neutering him, because that's part of responsable pet-ownership. |
