I know that you should, and I would if it weren't for the fact that he's champion sired and a purebreed, so I have no idea at this point, So I thought I'd ask you. It just seems like a loss if we neuter him...

Unless you plan on showing him, neuter him, PLEASE. It's not a loss if he's only going to be a family pet.

He could still hump your leg whether you neuter him or not ;), but yes, it prevents health problems and no worries about him ever running off.

Yes, please do get him neutered ^^

Leg-humping pretty much means he wants to dominate you and become pack leader, it doesn't really have anything to do with whether or not a dog in intact or not ^^

Well, not exactly. Neutering lessens the chances of him running off to find a mate, but he could still run off. Being neutered didn't stop Delta from disappearing for a month.

There are plenty of good reasons to neuter your dog and very few valid reasons not to do it.

Well, of course I meant the 2nd part, lol, cuz obviously any dog can run off..

But very glad you've decided to neuter him! :)

some vets won't neuter until 6 months..all of my dogs were fixed at 6 months. :) but ask your vet at what age they will neuter your dog. :)
