[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 2 yr old Pug and a 1.5 yr old toy spaniel, males, and I do not plan to neuter either one unless prostate problems appear later in life.  Previously I neutered my dogs at about 4 mos.

I've had these breeds previously and I'm convinced that taking away all their testosterone is, on balance, much worse for their overall lifetime health picture than leaving them intact.  Joint, tendon and disc issues are of particular interest to me, especially with the Pug.

If all of Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands etc. can figure out how to have healthy, nicely behaved dogs without cutting off their gonads, tails and ears, I have to believe people like me can figure it out too.  There's zero chance I'm going to "create unwanted litters" of puppies, nor am I going to enter intact bully breeds in fighting rings.  Or whatever other things ASPCA say to bludgeon all dog owners into questionable choices.

If you were super concerned about health and well being, you wouldn't have bought a pug.  You feel comfortable shoving the burden of population control off on other people because therw is zero chance that your male dog will become pregnant.[/quote]
