My parents seem to be agreeing with the vet, that him not "using" his hormones will cause him stress? I personally don't agree with that because well, he is five years old already and has shown no signs of "stress"? More specifically,he has not at all acted different compared to when he was younger. He has great temperament, is easy going, welcoming of "most" people, very tolerant towards children, playful, loves to cuddle, goes for walks, pretty normal.
To specify on my earlier post, I read they have an increased risk of bone cancer, urinary tract and prostate cancer, malignant heart tumours, cardiac hemangiosarcoma, hyperthyroidism, and possibly reactions to other injections, as well as increase in exercise and decrease in activity/energy. (Now I'm sure this is more like when you see a medicine and they list off every possible side affect anyone can possibly get, rather than the true likelihood that any of this would actually occur.)
But imo. why neuter him now? I don't see/understand any good reason to do so. He is not aggressive towards other dogs or children, he does not go to the dog park, he is not going to be in contact with female dogs in heat. Other than testiscular cancer (which has a low rate anyways?) And BPH that you mentioned? Is there any other good reason to do so?

@gemy - If this was Your Dog, would you get it done?

As for dental, IF I can not convince my parents otherwise, then I will make sure dental is done as well. Other then that, his teeth are in pretty good shape, the vet always takes a look at them, and I always brush them every night.
