Hello all,
My Girlfriend has a 6 month old puppy. I hate the thought of getting
him "fixed".
I guess its a male thing but I also cant see him being happy about it
either. I have heard that it is better for them in some way and helps
them to live longer.
How beneficial is this for a male dog? Are the health benefits extreme
or marginal? Are we talking about "he MIGHT be less susceptible to
certain problems"?
Behavior issues if he is not fixed as opposed to fixed?
This dog will not be getting out and creating unwanted puppies so that
is not a good reason in this case.
Any help would be appreciated.

He will be less susceptible to cancer. He will also be less aggressive and
better behaved. Also, it reduces the chances of marking with urine.
