3 Advantages Of Neutering Your Dalmatian

April 12th, 2006 · No Comments

1. Lessens male aggressive and territorial behaviors, but doesn’t affect the dog’s personality.  Behaviors are often owner-induced, so neutering is not the only answer, but it is a good start.

2. Prevents the need to roam in search of females in season.

3. Decreased incidences of urogenital diseases. 

This means of controlling breeding stock (neutering) improves the chances that knowledgeable breeding will take place, with dogs that will carry the breed forward because of their positive traits and absence of undesirable ones. 

A matter of recent public controversy revolves around the contention that purebred-dog genetic factors carry a certain number of physiological flaws and susceptibility to certain diseases.  The flames of controversy are fanned by people who ignore the fact that non-purebred animals suffer from the same kinds of conditions, and that there is less attention paid to identifying illnesses and infirmities in non-purebreds and almost none to eliminating them.
