Thoughts on the matter.......?
Roaming and Aggressiveness... ??
Initially the plan was to keep him intact, for no other reason than I don't like the thought of chopping off nuts as a means to control behaviour or because some people don't like to see them... He is a male and that comes with some responsibility to control him. Do they indeed abandon all recall if they get a whiff of quiff? Do they automatically fight with other intact dogs?
I do not buy into the line of thinking that all dogs that are not breeding stock should be castrated to prevent unwanted pups ending up at shelters. It is the owners that abandon, neglect or abuse dogs that are the one who need gelding.
