I just wish people could be responsible.

Agreed. That's the problem though, so many people aren't and they're just letting their dogs breed with whoever, creating more and more homeless dogs.

I'm for spaying/neutering, but I don't think that making it mandatory will do much.. unless they offer free or very low cost surgeries to the public I guess.

I can't tell you how many people come into the low cost clinic at the shelter I volunteer at with their intact, horribly bred Pit Bulls, only there to get a Rabies vaccine because the city sited them. I asked one man who had a male if he was there to be neutered and he said "Oh no, never. He has to make me money!"

FWIW, I just had my 16wk. old foster pup neutered and have seen numerous pediatric spay/neuters happen without any issues.
My parents had a yellow Lab who they kept intact for 2yrs., then had him neutered. He was PTS at 8yrs. old due to bone cancer. So, you never know.
