Ya Im really not to fond of it either. my dogs not neutered and he doesnt run off... I saw a lot of BS in that post too.

Wellll for the majority of pet owners, I think spay/neuter is a good thing. But if a person is showing/working then leave the dog unaltered. And if the person isn't, and they are simply responsible dog owners who have done the research and decided against a medically unneccesary surgery then I support that too. This isn't aimed at you the OP, but more at whoever wrote this.

And my unaltered male refutes almost all these points:

10 BEST REASONS TO SPAY/NEUTER YOUR DOG

1. Studies have shown spaying/neutering does not have a bunch of great health benefits, but actually creates more problems as far as the health of a dog (unspayed females usually live longer too).

2. Sure, I care about the pet overpopulation issue, but my dog's testicles aren't contributing to it.

3. I'm a girl; no ego boosting here.

4. Well, my dog is a male but even if I had an unspayed female I wouldn't breed her.

5. My dog gets frustrated over not being able to reach his tennis ball, not over females...

6. High drive dogs like mine are difficult, period.

7. Why should I medically remove organs from my dog just to make my life easier? I rather put up with little mood swings than risk incontinence, or increased chance of urinary and bladder infections for the rest of her life post-spay.

8. I support rescue, but don't see what that has to do with my dog's reproductive status.

9. My intact male doesn't mark because he was raised in the house and trained not to piss inside. They make doggy diapers and crates for a reason btw.

10. Accidents don't just "happen". If your dog escapes, YOU did something wrong. And if my dog evvvvvver impregnanted a female, I'd pay for the spay & abort.

10 BEST REASONS TO SPAY/NEUTER YOUR DOG

1. You love your dog and want him to live a long, healthy life.
Spaying and neutering reduces the risk of certain types of cancers and infections, especially if it is performed prior to the first heat in females and before puberty in males.

2. You are concerned about pet overpopulation and don't want to contribute to the tragedy of so many dogs dying homeless.

3. You are a self-assured, confident individual, and don't need your dog's genitalia to boost your self esteem.

4. You don't want to put your female through the risks associated with pregnancy and motherhood.

5. You want your dog to live a happy life free from stress and frustration.
Intact males can smell females in heat miles away. They are in constant state of frustration when triggered by their sexual hormones but not able to do anything about it.

6. You want to enjoy pleasant pet ownership and not have to go through power struggles with your dog. Neutered males are easier to control and less aggressive. "The majority of dog bites are made by intact males."

7. You want to avoid the difficulties and "mood swings" associated with intact female dogs.
Spayed females are more stable and even-tempered. The female reproduction cycle lasts 6 months. During that cycle the dog goes through frequent hormonal changes that directly influence her behavior. Think of it this way: The premenstrual cycle (PMS) of an intact female dog lasts several months.

8. You support rescue and want to set a good example.

9. You like your house clean.
Spaying eliminates the possibility of getting blood stains on your couch, floor, bed, etc. when your female has her heat cycle. Neutering reduces/eliminates marking behavior both indoors and out..

10. Accidents happen! Dogs don't wear condoms.



10 WORST EXCUSES NOT TO SPAY/NEUTER YOUR PIT BULL

1. Just one litter and then we'll have Daisy spayed.
Studies show that virtually the entire pet overpopulation issue stems from the "just one litter" mentality.

2. My dog doesn't run loose, so he doesn't need to be fixed.
Murphy's Law says otherwise.

3. We always find homes for the puppies.
And that means that an equal number of puppies at the pound will be euthanized.

4. I want the children to witness the miracle of birth.

5. My dog is so cute and unique, there should be more of her.
The shelters and pounds are full of cute and unique dogs, most with only a few days to live.

6. It's not natural.
There hasn't been anything "natural" about dogs since we began to develop breeds thousands of years ago.

7. I just couldn't look my dog in the eye if I had him castrated.
Watch it, you're anthropomorphizing. Remember, real men have their own...

8. A female dog should have at least one litter for health reasons.
Medically, factually and ethically indefensible.

9. Neutering my dog will make him fat and lazy.
Too much food and not enough exercise make a dog fat and lazy.

10. Fixing my pet will change her personality.
The main influences on a dog's personality are the kindness and care with which she is raised.
