You make a good point.

I was going to say the idea is completely ridiculous.

Then again, the people that buy in to this sort of thing are probably the same exact people that SHOULD be getting their pets neutered.

I'm sorry, but i don't see dogs being emotionally scarred over getting neutered. Hormonal changes are something entirely different (and the reason i MUCH prefer to have in tact male dogs... at least until they're older.) Heck, King was the suave' type and the only problem he had when he had one removed was with the incision. It itched. The problem he did have was unrelated though... He FREAKED when he finally noticed the shaved patch of fur on his arm. He looked at, his eyes got huge, he yelped, and he leaped into the air from laying down, then proceeded to lick it. (This was the next day so obviously there wasn't any physical pain.) He was as into his awesome fur as i was... sometimes i think even more so. You can take his testicles, but do NOT take his fur!!!
