Your friends mom is full of it!!!
I mean no offense, so please do not take it that way, but dogs that are not neutered or spayed have a higher risk of cancers of the reproductive organs. And a female having puppies increases reproductive cancers very much. A male that is not neutered is more likely to roam and to cause fights and be agressive to other dogs.
You are 10000000000000% doing the right thing!!!
If you question yourself, go to www.petfinder.org and look to see all the UNWANTED puppies and dogs b/c of all the people in the world that think the way your friends mom does. When I was getting my Golden spayed a (ditzbag) lady from work was telling me that I should let her have puppies b/c it makes her a better dog then she laughingly said that "our dog is so old it only had one puppy this last litter" ha ha ha this is the same ditzbag that said "I would never adopt a dog from the pound or humane society, you never know what you would get" That just makes my blood B~O~I~L!
