At least then they still could enjoy sex. When they neuter them they cut the balls off and the poor guy cant have any fun!

Actually some vets do!!! It is more expensive than a nutering but if you have the money it can be done.
No such thing as a stupid question!

As other people said on here its an instinct to mate and its not for fun. Dolphins are the only other mammal besides Humans that have been proven to actually do it for fun. There is a nicer and safer way to neuter male dogs which invoves an injection instead of chopping. Check out the link below for more info.

According to AKC dog show rules: Spayed and neutered dogs are ineligible to be shown in the Conformation ring (except in certain non-regular classes). There are folks who have vasectomies done on their dogs and they still show in the regular classes (they're cheaters). A judge who feels a dog's package has no way of knowing whether or not the dog is sterile.

Replying to a comment already posted, I don't believe neutering is better off in the long run to prevent health problems, ect. If the testicles were harmful to the dog in old age then why are they there? If they weren't supposed to be there they wouldn't be. :P
But like someone else said, neutering is just easier to perfom than a vascectomie! Chop 'em off. Lol. And it makes your dogs rear-end more bareable to look at, too. Who wants to see hairy balls? Lmao.. :P

It's probably cheaper for the vet and the pet-owner to just chop-em off. Neutering takes more time and care, and the vet would ned to be paid more. In fact, I BELIEVE it is more costly to have a female spayed than it is to have a male neutered. Because spaying involves more cutting and surgery.

i work in a vet clinic and some people do. just by doing a vasectomy the male dog would still chase and mate with the females, and still be a bit more aggressive. the procedure is more complicated and expensive

Removing the testacles prevents the release of hormones that can cause health problems for the dog as he gets older. These hormones are also responsible for undesireable behaviors (marking, hyperexcitability around females, etc.). Uncastrated dogs are at a much greater risk for prostatic disease (80% greater risk than uncastrated dogs) and certain cancers. A vasectomy prevents unwanted pregnancies, but castration is better for the overall health of the dog.

that's the whole point of calming down a dog, dogs are still a bit wild and they act out if they are not neutered, they can bite and growl and be very difficult.

Dogs dont look at sex as fun..it's an instinct and they only do it for breeding.
