Its not the same as a vasectomy in human males. In male dogs they remove the testicles. A health benefit is that they dont get testicular cancer. I dont know what the beneffits are to not getting it done are. Maybe someone who has opted to not get that done can answer your question |

well truthfully, i was interested in breeding with bailey but it seems that everyone here on the forums is really against me doing that. is this suppose to be a known "unethical" thing to do? |

Your dog's personality is more likely to stay the same if you have him neutered now before he gets all the testosterone in his system. Testosterone changes the dog's personality. There is much debate about weight gain in dogs that are neutered. Most of the gain is normal aging. This can be easily addressed by giving less food and exercising more. Besides preventing testicular cancer, dogs that are neutered are much less likely to run away. Accidents involving cars are still the number one cause of death in dogs. As far as breeding goes, many of us feel it's best left up to the professionals; people who have studied the breed and know what it entails to produce a healthy litter. |
Thanks for this thread! I have been laughing the whole time! how cute! :lol tears |
All I can tell you is chachis personality didnt change and he didnt gain any weight besides normal growth. I have cats that have gained weight and become more inactive but they were indoor cats an I dont think cats are as active as dogs anyway. Chachi also became a much better pet after neutering. Before neutering if we took him off leash he would run away. Now he stays with us and never trys to run away. |
I hate to discourage you but as I've mentioned on this site before, my vet said that once a male starts lifting his leg he will continue to do so. If you get them neutered BEFORE they lift their leg for the first time, chances are good they won't ever do anything but squat when they pee. My male is almost 4 and he marks a lot, especially lately. There is no reason for him to be doing this either. Sometimes he will just walk over to a chair leg or the edge of the sofa and just pee on it. It drives us CRAZY!! He will probably be whizzing on everything once we get our third dog this weekend. He WILL be wearing belly bands while we are home for sure. Neurtering did not really change his personality but he did put on a little weight. But I think that the weight gain can be controlled if you see your male starting to gain a bit. Best of luck with your decision. |
cats are different than dogs most cats sleep 12 hours a day my dogs didnt change at all besides they listened better since there hormones werent driving them nuts if you not gonna show him or breed him there really no reason not to get him done if you dont most likely he will pee everywhere hump everything and he may get cancer i dont like unneutered dogs i think all there brains are on females there all over the place i couldnt wait to get my dogs done millions of dogs get this done there really no reason to worry a ton |
