what are the benefits of nutering my male dog?

Question

I have to 2 year old Springer Spaniels

Answer 1

When neutered, pets offer you what you got them for -- affection, companionship, and being the center of their world.
Your pet will be a more content family member

Because they're domestic animals, dogs and cats naturally take to, and need, people, but this natural affection gets overpowered by the drive to reproduce. This urge to mate leads to roaming, fighting, aggression, excessive barking, howling, and other unwelcome behaviors.
Your pet will be healthier

Because the urge to search out mates is eliminated, neutered pets are less likely to roam from home and be injured in fights or killed in traffic. In fact neutered pets have twice the average life expectancy of unneutered pets, partly due to a much lower chance of suffering from breast, uterine, prostate, and testicular cancers.

Answer 2

There aren't any. Unless the animal has a medical condition where nutering it is a necessity the procedure is nothing more than mutilation, same with spaying. I have had dogs all my life and with the exception of a femal that had other health problems, none of them were spayed or nutered, only ever had 1 litter of puppies in 39 years so.... they call it haveing the animal "fixed' to distract from the fact that it is actually forced sterilization and mutilation. It is wrong, always was and always will be....

Answer 3

A two year old dog, if already marking it's territory, will be most likely to continue to do so, neutering is unlikely to change the habit.

The dogs will probably, over time, become calmer and less excitable, as bitches in heat won't affect them, and they'll be less likely to roam. Their overall activity may decrease.

With some highly reactive dogs, including some hunters such as Coonhounds, the dogs are just gonzo to begin with, and it won't slow them down one bit (been there, done that, been dragged across the lawn on my face, displaying inappropriate adherence to the saying: Hang on!).

Answer 4

Health is the primary reason. Neutered males tend to live longer and have fewer problems than intact males. Part of that is due to the fact that they're in fewer fights over females and don't get themselves into as many predicaments by roving, too. They don't contribute to the dog overpopulation problem, which is also good.

Often, they tend to stay closer to home and are easier to train. Their temperament is usually a lot calmer, too, which makes them easier to live with.

And the last, but most important thing is that neutering a male prevents baldness in human beings. Raging hormones in a male dog have made more than one trainer/owner/handler want to tear their hair out in frustration. . .

Answer 5

aww your so lucky springer spaniels are the most beautiful dogs ever, i used to have one, he was SOO beautiful, naughty but beautiful.... We had our male done, it didnt make ANY difference at all, except he hated us for a few days lol mind you he was only about a year old

Answer 6

The only benefit to NOT neutering him would be breeding him. If you aren't planning on doing that, you'll eliminate the marking, humping, aggression, roaming issues that intact males tend to have. You also won't have to worry about your dog sneaking out and turning into a 'neighborhood romeo'

Answer 7

He won't drive you crazy if he is in heat and won't mark his territory every where. Having him nutered reduces the chances of getting hit by a car or wandering off in strange places where he could get hurt or in trouble.

Answer 8

don't wait any longer to get your springer spaniel neuter!

Answer 9

1) He won't spray in the house
2) He'll be less likely to run away
3) He'll be more docile

Those are 3 good reasons... but the main reason is:

4) To prevent more unwanted pets that simply get destroyed.

Answer 10

Makes them less Territorial and aggressive.
they also make better pets.
