[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it is a reflection of my life experience, but, these sort of arguments are rarely entirely or even mostly about 'what's best for the dog'. Sure people say that, but it is typically after they have inquired and realize how expensive a neuter or vaccines or whatever actually is. Then they search for an argument to justify not spending the money. For anyone who cares, though, the low-cost clinics are fine, they do a lot of spay/neuter surgeries   and don't seem to have a higher rate of complications than anyone else.[/quote]

Um no, everyone I have talked to who are either waiting or not choosing to neuter their dogs are doing it because of the studies that have recently come out showing the possible health risks associated with neutering. The past 3 male dogs that I have had have all been neutered at 6 months based on our vet's advice. We are considering not neutering our current pup because of past anxiety problems we have dealt with that I suspect resulted from the neutering. I never suspected the neutering being the cause in the past, but now thinking back to the timing of when these behaviors started, it lines up with several studies suggesting that the lack of testosterone causes increased risk of anxiety problems.
