do male dogs have to be neutered or not2007-11-25 3:00:43

is it necessary for male dogs to be neutered?

Answers:

unless a dog is a purebred, registered dog who has been to dog shows to prove he is a top example of the breed worthy of passing on his genetics there is no reason to keep him intact

neutering actually prevents the risk of many problems - such as testicular cancer, it lowers agression, and creates a happier dog (becuase he isnt stressed due to testosterone)

some cities have bylaws requiring neutering or offering licenses at reduced fees for neutered dogs.

I certainly reccommend it for anyone who loves their dog

It's not necessary, but it keeps them from peeing all over everything and humping everyone. Plus once they're neutered, they tend to be a little calmer.

Unless you want him to mark all over the place, be overly hyper, sometimes aggressive, and have chances of getting testicular/prostate cancer,..then no. **that's just the short of it** But if you don't want these things to happen, get him neutered at 6 mos.

Only if you want them to be. Although a male dog is alot more mellow and less aggresive after he is nuetered,and they also won't run if left out on their own.

The choice to spay/neuter your pet is up to you. It is after all, your pet. It isn't necessary, but it does help prevent health and behavioral problems in the future. You can get a male dog neutered as early as 3 months, but most don't recommend doing it until they are 4 months old.

That's a huge question.
