Why should I neuture my 1 year old male EBD

[Vabulldog]

Do most of you have neutered males?

Brutus has now hit 1 year old. I was wondering if most people with English Bulldogs neuter their male dogs and why?

Background: I have no behavioral issues. I can walk him anywhere without issues with other dogs. He doesn't dart out of our doors when we answer them for guests. He is good with guests. I don't do dog parks or have dogs over. I have a 6 foot privacy fence and Brutus is never away from us. I have no desire to get another dog and none of my close neighbors have one.

If it makes sense I'll do it, I don't want to get him neutered just because. I have always had males but usually got them from shelters so they were already neutered when I got them. What are good, valid reasons to have this procedure done in my case?

As most here knows I’m not for neutering n why Jake has a vasectomy. To this day I believe all dogs should keep their hormones going n for bone purpose too. My son’s German Shepherd is nearly 7 same age as Jake n not neutered. Like you he never had any issues at all. If there was one of our female in heat, we kept her or him home. Some members don’t believe in not having dogs neutered n I totally respect that. But if you look in Europe, neutered isn’t a “must” do. Neutering is. Neutering is big on the Western side of the world. I got Jake at 2.5yrs old n he was a breeding dog why I didn’t want him on Nyala or the other female dogs in the family. I also never seen Jake go after any other dog but Nyala who was fixed yrs ago. She sits down or bites him to stay away. He learned fast to stay off of her yrs ago 🤷🏼‍♀️

At the end of the day, up to the owner what feels right.

I use to believe it had to be done, but after years of reading o the topic, I think our next pups will not be altered unless already done when we get them or until an issue arises to warrant it. Like you we will not be doing dog parks or dog daycares.

Studying Dogs That Had Longevity, Guess What Was Found?

In studies of more than one breed, they found these commonalities between breeds. So it likely has implications for your dog of any breed. Despite its 'go-to' reputation, it's linked to early death, as well as storm phobias, separation anxiety, and malignant growth. Do this instead.
