I had Tibbe neutered as an only dog for three reasons: #1) to keep him from constantly feeling frustrated and needing to mate #2) to keep him from wanting to urine mark in the house and #3) to keep him from accidentally impregnating a little female should something ever happen that he was lost or I died, was disabled and he moved on to another home or any of the things that can happen that can perpetuate the over-breeding of dogs in this country(Tibbe has conformation faults and should not pass those along). I felt that as a dog-lover, it would be best for my baby, the cleanliness of my home and good for all dogs in the long run to have one less intact male.
Things could go wrong in your dog's surgery but you know from the statistics that this surgery is performed successfully every hour of every day in this world with very few bad outcomes. The good so outweighs the bad that most of us leave our babies off for the surgery with apprehension, dread and worry but still the abiding faith that it will more than likely turn out well and in the long run, the dog will be far better off.
