"Spaying or Breeding?"
"Are you spaying her or breeding?" My vet asked me this question when I took my then 5 month old female Cane Corso to the vet at the beginning of October. I told her neither, that I prefer my dogs natural. Yes, I have to deal with the menstrual cycle and blood, but that's a small price to pay for keeping my dogs the way they were intended to be.
My personal opinion, I think neutering is wrong. In my eyes, it's unnatural and disturbing. No, just because you don't neuter your dog doesn't mean it's going to run away and start a massive dog over-population epidemic. Don't blame people who don't fix their dogs for the problems that irresponsible breeders have caused. Plus, I know a better, safer, less destructive alternative procedure to fixing the over-population problem, it's a thing called a fence. Have a big, strong dog? Get a big, strong fence.
I also believe that neutering is destructive to temperment and instinct. No, I do not want a dog constantly humping my leg, but instead of a quick fix, I'd spend the time to train the dog, rather than take the easy way out. Honestly, how would you feel if your sexuality was stripped from you?
Also on a side note, my cat (interestingly, my friend's cat as well) became morbidly obese after his neutering, and he went from an agile, curious, outgoing cat to a lazy, fat, moody cat who has problems trusting anything that breathes.
So anyways, that's my opinion. Let me hear yours.
