Hello there, well, its again, a long argument over this topic. Personally, after finished alot of readings, I would spay/ neuter my dogs for their good health if I don't intend to breed them. This is what i got from petsmart.com: Male dogs do not need to engage in sexual intercourse. In dogs, sexual behavior is primarily a reflexive behavior. Neutered males have a much lower incidence of prostate problems as they age. Spayed females have a lower incidence of certain health problems, especially as they age. Spaying a dog before she is two years of age dramatically reduces her risk of breast cancer. And of course spayed females cannot develop uterine infections. Again, this is just my judgement. At least I can do somehting to promise her future from certain unneccessary illness ~ Trivor ~ ~ SC & Low, mama and dada ~
