Boxer Insane
I think I will neuter my future dogs later in their life.
I feel that Snatch is better that Oxford, healthwise and mental wise. He was neutered at 2 years old.
The behaviorist I saw for Oxford told me that early neutered dogs(before 12-14 month old) (Oxford was 6 month old - i did it that early because he had an undescended testicule) tend to have more ACL problem, long limb, fear aggression, ... -> exactly what Oxford has.
I think nature was well done and dogs need their hormones to properly develop.
That goes in saying that i am a responsible owner who doesn't leave my dog loose and roaming
I am from Europe and over there, they spay females after their 1st heat but tend to leave males intact (which, regulate the population since females are spayed).
That's the road I will follow for next dogs. (of course, unless i rescue, in that case i will have no choice..)
