Guest Tess32 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 In my opinion, there is NO reason to keep a canine entire if they are not to be used to reproduce. People can banter around all the stats as to why it could be healthier to get a dog desexed, but that aside, it simply is not necessary to keep testicals on a male who is or has been classified as a pet because of some structural issue that does not conform to the breed standard, simply because the owner needs to see two balls bounce around as the dog walks away and it for some reason keeps (in most cases) the male of the house happy. I see no reason to desex my entire male, so why SHOULD I desex him? More to the point, how are *responsible* owners of entire males going to contribute to puppy farms and the like, in ANY way?

It would be interesting to know what percentage of owners keeping entire registered purebreeds become involved in backyard breeding practices. The people I know that have bred their dogs in a BYB fashion, which isn't a lot of people but a few, have always used unpapered dogs sourced from BYB's, not from registered breeders. No doubt it happens, but how common is it???. Edited June 9, 2010 by K9Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
