Statistically, this cancer is so rare but if there is a history in the line then it is best to have it done. As I stated before, I am in favor of neutering young males. However, at later years in their life, it is questionable to me unless there is a real benefit. In your case, it seems there is since testicular and prostate cancer are in the line.

BTW...Muskwa (love that name) is a really beautiful dog!
Had he been my dog from the start, he'd have been neutered at six months! But he was a year old before I even started dating my husband. Course then I wouldn't have Earle and I wouldn't have known Hoodoo and my whole life would probably be different now!

His name means Bear in Cree. He was named by a Cree medicine man. Stuart couldn't think of the right name. He's also part Cree and was at a ceremony when the medicine man told him Muskwa has a bear spirit. So does Stuart, if you believe such things. So Muskwa finally got his name at about 4 months old. He still answers pretty well to HEY YOU NO!
