Let's assume there is zero chance of the dog unintentionally procreating. Are there benefits to neutering that outweigh the benefits of not?

Does it outweigh the pros of not neutering? FYI - he'll be ~ 1 y.o. if we do it.

Breeder friend said better to neuter at one year

I've heard that from a few sources too. I have the appointment scheduled in a few weeks. He'll be just over 1 y.o.

So unfair. So the dog can break through the fence

So how does that work? As the owner, do you have to pay puppy support?

Our dog is 12 lbs. He gets stuck in shrubs.

For several years our 14 yr old unuttered dog was treated for enlarged prostate.

We had to sign an agreement with the breeder that we’d neuter our pup.
