There's a lot of medical research coming out right now about the impact of spay/neuter on a dog's health.
I have friends with fixed dogs that mark, both male and female so it doesn't really stop that.
I think it comes down to being a responsible pet owner, keep your dogs leashed at all times or in a secured yard to ensure they don't escape for some nooky with the local hot bitch.
A former vet of mine told me she couldn't even convince her own dad to fix his 4 dogs as there really was no proven medical reason for doing it.
My first dog was intact, my aunt's dog was intact, I didn't have marking issues in the house and neither did my aunt.
If you don't wish to fix just be responsible and get some belly bands and pads. |
