hehe! Paula, I guess has become not just a friend but a BREEDER MENTOR!!! YEAH! Anyway, yes, I have heard horror stories from her...males peeing in the dog bowls, on each other, on other bitches....just like you described. I guess I'll keep my well mannered men anyday!

Give people some credit please.....some think it is irresponsible not to alter if you are not going to breed, I think it is irresponsible to alter as a matter of course....people are free to decide which is right for them and their dog...after all.. it is still a free country...(despite the current administration's efforts to make it otherwise)

I see ....So you're saying all of us who choose to 'alter as a matter of course' are irresponsible.....Kim - I give you credit for posting what you believe in - no one is making fun of you - I just really wonder why things always turn this way.

Are you saying it is irresponsible not to have a pet neutered, because there are some vets who feel it is irresponsible to neuter unless there is a valid reason that is in the best interests of the dog? Surgery is risky and the so-called health benefits of neutering are in no way proven to outweigh the risk of the surgery and the pain the animal must endure.

Obviously, irresponsible owners who cannot contain and control the dog should have them altered, but as long as unwanted pregnancies can be prevented and the dog is not overly aggressive, and absent some other compelling reason, it is perfectly okay to leave a dog unaltered imo.

Juat another viewpoint to consider.

Are you sure that you want an answer ? It might not be the one you want to hear .

I really must dis-agree with this comment. We lost our male APBT last Feb due to testicular cancer. My fiance didn't have him neutered (for fear of him gaining weight) and he died as a result of his poor decision. Our vet point blank told us that if he had been neutered, he'd still be alive. So yes, the health benefits DO outweigh the temporary 'pain' the dog 'endures.'

In your BF's dog's case, of course they did and of course you cannot get testicular cancer if you have not testicles!!

So...if you follow that logic all men should have their testicles removed after they have had their children to prevent testicular cancer and all women should have hysterectomies after they re through having children.

I am sorry about the dog but the logic is missing in your argument.

Just curious...how old was the dog when he developed the cancer and what is the life expectancy of that breed?

I can and will respect those who make questionnable decisions for their own welfare, but not the welfare of the innocent.

I can not tell anyone what to do, except when it comes to my puppies. You will spay/neuter or you do not get a puppy..I have that right. I do not have the right to tell anyone else they must do it..and I also do not have to respect their possibly life threathening decision for their pet..as for a female Yorkie it is just plain asking for trouble to never spay.

guys, there is no reason in the world why this thread has to become heated. just about every thread that starts with a newbie, or an older member saying i want to breed my dog, ends up like this, and i'm tired of it. everyone take a step back, cool, off re-read what the thread starter said, and answer her questions! i understand that breeding isn't the easiest thing in the world, or that just any "cute" dog can do it, but it doesn't have to get like this. its not a simple hobby etc. to do but answering her questions without bashing each other isn't that hard. i just don't understand anymore.......

Cancer is un-altered dogs is VERY common, and to not fix your dog because of the temporary pain they endure is laughable at best. Please don't come here crying when one of your dogs dies from cancer that YOU could've prevented

4 years old ? I'm sorry girl. I'm sure knowing he developed cancer from not neutering must have made it even harder to take.....I just wanted to say that's really sad.

Just like "chocolate is poison to dogs", albon as a preventive for coccidia is a good thing, service dogs are a good thing, not all pet stores sell puppymill dogs, etc., etc., etc.

OH MY GOD KIM! how do you always seem to bring controversy to a thread!!
The chocolate thing plain and simple if it is a minor amount a dog has consumed then there is NOTHING to fret over. If he eats a chocolate cake or a brownie well that would be a different matter, but still nothing to get excited about accidents happen, merely induce vomiting with proxide and they are fine. I did NOT tell anyone to purposely feed their dogs chocolate, although I have let them lick an most empty bowl of chocolate ice cream, or if a chocolate chip hits the ground, or if there is a skim of cake on a plate (meaning crumbs).

please get over it, give it a rest this does not belong on this thread you are way way way off topic oh voracious one!
