I agree with Glacier, and would also like to warn you that tall grasses & bushes will rip them off too. Whne I worked at the vets, we wouls see quite a few dogs get them ripped in the feilds/woods. It turns into a very bloody mess.
I personally reccoment them to be removed because I have personally witnessed way too many accidents with them.

Waiting until they go under anesthesia for spay/neuter or any other reason when they are under general anesthesia is fine & a lot cheaper!!!
I agree that they should probably be removed. Bull is going to be a big active guy and I'd hate for him to rip them off in the future while playing. Talk to your vet about it.
