Here is the real information about spay/neuter, for those interested in the scientific evidence.

In summary, from the point of view of health only, it is somewhat better NOT to neuter male dogs. The position with female dogs is equivocal (ie 50/50).
Of course there may be other reasons for neutering (eg risk of unwanted pregnancies).
Thanks for your info..however..I'm sure like anything you can find "scientific evidence" to justify any opinion. One vets "opinion" is not reason enough to ignore the prevailing veterinarian opinion regarding this. Kind of like a few scientists opinions regarding global warming vs the vast majority of their community. In our personal experience..we recently lost a female rottie to bone cancer and she was spayed at around 3 years old. Her breed surely dictated this..not when or if she was spayed. I just don't think the vets who we put our trust in..would intentionally mislead us. So..the great part of choice is ..we all can make the best one we can for our dogs..and hope for the best!
