Should I get my puppy spayed?
You probably should have your puppy altered. If not when the time comes, this is when the true primal predator self surfaces in previously peaceful dogs, and they can actually kill each other. You want trouble, you put two males in the back yard with a female.You are re preventing testicular cancers, mammary tumors, and other reproductive-system cancers; we’re preventing hernias and blocking the development of many other conditions a dog can develop from having too many sex hormones building up in its system over a number of years.
Some say that dogs are at more risk for obesity if they’re spayed or neutered, but if they are fed the correct diet and given regular exercise, there should be no issue with this at all.
Neutering prevents marking with urine in the house and around the dog’s territory, and the accompanying aggression, which can lead to dominance issues and violence toward other dogs and even members of the family. Neutering them makes dogs more manageable, more trainable, and more placid pets at home.
