Neutering: Good or bad?

Postby Selene Moon » Thu Nov 29, 2012 2:40 pm

People say neutering your pet is bad. Others say it's good. What do you think?

I think neutering is: Good. Having a neutered pet is great for your family. They are calm and nicer to others.

I will probably never neuter a male dog unless a contract from the breeder calls for it or theres a medical reason.

Dogs that are neutered before their personality sets can have a slew of behavioral problems that are generally fear/anxiety based and it can affect bone growth if done before they are finished growing (2 years for most breeds).

However, I don't think most pet owners are capable of owning an intact dog so its normally better for the general pet owner. ;D The issue, however isn't as black and white and many people make it out to be.

And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I say I truly mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clear
'Cause there's no one like you on earth
That can be my universe

^^^^^^ Couldn't have said it better; I agree with Cardinal, but I'm not against fixing, either.
