Yep thats what i did with Barney, i wanted him to live a long and healthy life, and saw no need to keep him intact, but I was talking to a guy the other day and he said that it shouldnt be done a male dog is never the same, I am having probs with barney he is changing, he is less cuddly than he was, and i was told of a dog that went nasty after neutering at a old age
