Dog Neutering: What's Your Opinion?

The title speaks for itself.

Would you recommend dog neutering, and what's your opinion on it?

Thoroughbreds should be allowed to breed, but if it's a mongrel, "orf with his knackers!" i say. A bit like humans really. Some people just should not be allowed breed.

Mr Cadbury says it bloody hurts.

And then you have to walk around for a week wearing a thing like a lampshade around your neck, so you can't reach round to lick your bits.

He doesn't recommend it.

According to Channel 4's "It's Me or the Dog" it makes quite a difference, but you feel sorry for them when they lay down and give you those poor sad eyes.

I think dogs and (more particularly) cats are fab.

However, my office is located near a bunch of grotty bastards, who let their animals 'schicht' all over the pavement, and sometimes our cark park.

I've watched them look the other way whilst their dogs (who extrete more like small horses) fill the street with human sized poops.

I have nothing but respect for those I see carrying plastic bags to dispose of said mess, and nothing but derision for those who allow their pets to foul my streets.

As for the topic at hand; I tend to go along with the American host of "The Price is Right", as he demands the viewing public, "Have [their] pets speyed or neutered" at the end of every show.

The most sensible idea to come out of Hollywood in many a year.

Mr Cadbury says he doesn't like you any more; and might well bite yours if he gets the chance.

I wonder if the testostrome or whatever it's called depends on the breed of dog.

The bigger the dog, the bigger the balls, the more testosterone and the deeper the bark.

I had no idea dogs were so closely related to trees!

Yep, you cut through the middle and count the rings to see how old they are.

Well I own a lively dog and I am wondering if he'll keep his excitement if he gets the snip.
