Don't you hate that [bleep]? Vets are now indoctrinated to constantly push for it, too.
Interestingly enough our vet advised us to wait 18-24 months before we neutered our Lab. Jaeger is 4 now and our vet still hasn’t pushed to have him neutered. Never says a word other than how healthy is.
I've got a 5 yo lab and I've put it off, he's seems to be just fine, our gsp girl is fixed and he'll ride her on occasion but I cant stand her anyway, he can have at it. I do have a friend who'll bring his daughters over on occasion, I do have to be watchful when they are around. My last lab lived 10 years with his balls intact, my vet though says you'll get a few more if you take them out...
Old county I lived in it was actually mandatory for you to have your dog fixed.
