Getting ready to have him neutered - YorkieTalk.com Forums

But should I.......

He's so darn cute - Maybe I should (not sure if this is what it's called) but maybe I should "stud" him out. He's too cute not to, but I have no idea what it all intales - (well maybe a little) - but you know what I mean.

Any advice?

I am debating as well whether to let my little boy breed or not. It is very tough. The research I have done hardly shows any preferences either way. It might make them healthier say a few sources, it could cause cancer say others- Breeding them may cause them to go rabid and they will hump and mark everything, while others say its fine and will not alter thier personality at all. I am confused just like you. But personally I am leaning toward neutering Berkley~

I know that we all love our babies and want the best for them and to see a part of them but unless you are really sure about lines and all that in the dogs being bred I wouldn't do it. I would suggest neutering and letting him be a pet. Once you stud them I have heard (not sure) that the manliness in them kick up a notch. You will find a bit of marking and other unwanted behaviours might surface. I would say chat up some of the breeders on here and find out what would be in store for you if you keep him intact and stud him out.

I've had the same worries for 3 yrs. now.

But, I now have 4 males and just got a little female. I don't want to breed, so I have no other choice. Also, my oldest male, JPop, has become pretty agressive toward 1 of my males. Too much testostrone floating around. Just hope neutering solves, or at least helps this problem. They were scheduled for next week, but I think I'm going to have a conflict at work, so I'll have to reschedule.

I'm clueless when it comes to breeding and I think I'll take your advise and let him be a pet - I've never bred before and the more I thought (think) about it - the more I shy away from it.
