I did this for him, but everyones saying i ruined him. Doesn't it provide the dog with a healthier longer life?

Yes it does. I also decreases his agression so that he is less likely to bite people for no reason (though Boxers are particularly known for this). It decreases his sex drive, so he won't run off the visit every lady he smells in heat.
Overall he will be less likely to get cancer and will be a better pet.
He also will never participate in creating puppy lives that will be destined to die in animal control.
You absolutely did the right thing. Good for you.

most people who say you ruined him are just idiots. the only thing you may have ruined is his chance to bring more pups into the world and that is a good thing.
now this is fro most dogs but of course there is a chance your's could be different.
It may stop him from marking his territory if he was young.
It should stop him from wanting to wonder and that could cause a hit by car. ( a dog can smell a female in heat upto 5 miles away) The dog will be more of a home body.
It cuts the chances of specific cancers
I am very proud of you for getting him neutered and just ignore the jerks and idiots out there

Actually it can provide you pet a healthier life, no risk of testicle cancer which happens to male dogs when they are not neutered. It in no way ruins a dog, unless they are only thinking of breeding, which is something you would decide on not the other people. Thank you for protecting all the unborn puppies from an early end.

Whoever 'everyone' is, they don't have a clue. You have not ruined the dog. He will never get testicular cancer or prostate cancer. He will not be run over trying to hunt down a female in season that he has caught the scent of and gotten out of the yard to find. He will be the same dog as he always was or would be but you have removed the chances of the cancers and him being responsible for the birth of unwanted puppies that will face possible death at an early age due to no room at the shelter.

Yes, it is just a health benefit pretty much. It also help with the pet overpopulation problem, even if you never planned to breed him, things happen. You did not ruin him, I know all of my guy friends say that the dog will turn sissy if you take his "manhood" but he will still be the same pet you had. Its harder though will older dogs, over 2 years or so, because they can tell the difference, even of they don't know what happened. Puppies don't know and grow up just the same as they ever would. Congrats on making a great decision! :)

Well its good that you didnt listen to everyone? you have done the right thing, your dog wont disapear now when its heat time, a lot males go walk about when they sense bitches are on heat! So your dog is safe & also wont howl all night wanting to get out & release his male hood. Good for you.

Well the male cat always knows when the female cat is in heat even if he is neudered. He will try to breed. You might want to get your other cat spade so that won't happen

I have boxers to! we have a male fawn, female white, female fawn, and a half boxer half heeler fawn. i dont think you ruined him, and no they live long if you take care of them not if they have balls or not ( excuse me). i hope your boxer lives a long life anyway! they are so cool dogs the way they love your family. Oh, and for everyone here boxer dogs are not bred to be aggressive!!!!! they were bred for hunting dogs!!!! It depends on how you raise them,,, and same with pittbulls!!!!! Boxers are wonderful dogs, and i would recommend them to everyone here! Nobody know about boxers apparently. So to everyone who thinks a boxer is aggresive and bites people, GET BETTER INFORMATION!

Good for you! If "everyone" (whoever "everyone may be) wants to add to the overpopulation of Boxers, that's their problem, but you made a responsible choice. Be proud that you have what I'm sure is a beautiful male Boxer who will live out his days as the loving pet he was meant to be. Enjoy him. :o)

Neutering was definately the best. If you didn't know previously that he couldn't be shown once neutered then you obviously weren't that interested in showing him in the first place. Ignore the idiots that said you ruined him they are talking out their a@@e!
