Great video and advise. This is a trend these days, my vet in Canada asked me to neuter my Xl size male dog when he was 6 months old and tried to scare me by saying that he will be humping and marking in the house, showing aggression and get attacked by other dogs in dog park, not able to go to dog daycare etc. All of above can be fixed by training, no need to alter your dog for dog parks and daycares, both places are not good for dogs anyways. I am from India and neutering a dog was unheard of back home. This is a trend in Western countries and somehow people here think they can work around nature and now they are doing the same with kids under the name of gender affirmation therapy and 9 hours of daycare a day for children under the age of 5 God bless this generation.

Dogs r healthier intact. They need the hormones they were born with. Feeding a species appropriate diet ( as close to what a canine would eat in the wild) chances of cancer r very slim!

Of course there is less chance of testicular cancer when there are no testicles left! I really struggled with deciding to neuter my puppy for this condition of a retained testicle. I do regret neutering him. The surgery was difficult. His hormone balance is destroyed now and he gains weight at an alarming pace. He even pees like a female now. We are now fighting obesity on very little food. I advise to NOT neuter your normal male dogs. I never neutered my males in the past. They lived a long and healthy life. *BUT all were kept responsibly in fenced yards and never sired any litters.* Responsible dog owners should think long and hard before routine neutering of normal pet males. Working dogs are a different story. But yes, cryptorchidism is a different matter all together. I will never know if I made the right decision. It's a tough call to make. Breeders need to be more conscientious about breeding this defect out of their bloodlines.

I believe I said in my video to just remove the testicle that has not come down - for the. vbery reason that you bring up. The dog needs the hormones to develop and mature. When I bred dogs, if I produced a pup whose testickle diudbnt come down I always recommended waiting until the dog was @ 2 years old before the surgery - for exactly what your saying. If I missed saying this - my bad.

I wish I'd had more information before I neutered my boy. If I'd known that I SHOULD leave him intact until at least 2, I would have. I wish my vet would have told me about him needing them for testosterone to grow and mature. But he didn't. 😢. I had him fixed at 8 months old. The only reason I took him in then was because he was attempting to make babies with his sister. I just assumed if he was old enough to recognize she was in heat, then he was old enough to get fixed. Does anyone know if there is a way to give him testosterone until he is matured?? I'm just sick that I screwed my dog up! 😭😭😭

My Shepherd had an undescended testicle. The smart people on the internet (not vets) said that you shouldn't neuter until 1 and a half years so I waited until 2 years and had him neutered ONLY because the vet said he would have a higher chance of testicle cancer. I asked him (a REALLY good vet), " Really? Is this something that you have actually seen?" He said that, yes he had seen it happen more often with an undescended testicle. Therefore, I did the surgery. The dog's personality and high energy level did not change ONE BIT. He still pees like a boy and his weight has remained the same. I just wanted to share my experience in case it is useful info for anyone.
