You are placing human emotions and feelings onto your dog.
Dogs do not experience these sorts of feelings.
A neutered dog simply does not experience the drives and frustrations that an intact one does.
Whether you choose to acknowledge that fact or not does not make it any less a fact.

Does this mean you think your right? I think there are some opinions that agree with me. And if they don't I still believe 100% what I say. So let's get this right. Cropping is horrible but neutering is much better for the dog right? I don't agree with you so I will go to my cave(with my dog),sharpen some spears,create a fire and carve some animal skins.

I think I did mix up 2 differnt people's replies. But my arguement does stand for the people who say you don't love your dog if you crop the ears and they turn around and have their dog's testicles cut off. I will argue to the end with dog owners who try to judge and belittle people for not raising dogs the way they do. Almost evryone tries to act like they have superior knowledge of dogs and people who don't see it their way are cruel and shouldn't have dogs. If anyone don't like being on the other side of an arguement they shouldn't be trying to throw their weight around in here. And I put so many replies on this subject because I got to this one late and there was alot of catching up to do.

Everyone has their own opinion. That's life. You either agree with cropping/docking, don't agree with it or only agree if it's for medical reasons. If your dogs not being bred then he/she should be fixed. Why even have the chance you could have an accidental litter when it could be prevented by a little snip and clip? If you keep your dogs whole, fine...just don't let 'em hump every female around and contribute to overpopulation and mixed breeds. If you clip them for medical reasons or to help stem the population, that's good.
Again...opinions differ, deal with it. It's not something you can change over night.

Borgorn - Maybe in your backward country people tease boys for not being mutilated. Here in South Africa circumcision is highly out of fashion with 80% of the white population not being circumcised. So no, my son would not be riduculed by a bunch of knuckle draggers such as yourself and your lovely friends.
Personally as a woman, I find the sight of a circumcised man sad and appaling.
You are a combative incredably immature poster. I am done speaking to you.

Africa calling the United States backward and knuckle draggers that's a good one. I could say more but I won't. Exspecially when it comes to mutilating. And I was not involved in the ridicule, I'm just telling you what happened. If america is so bad why does everyone come here then? Appaling at least it don't look like an elephant's trunk.

It isn't to make him act how i want him to act........there are no gaurantees that his behaviour would alter at all.
It is done b/c it would be unfair to have him intact (Knowing that he is never going to be used for stud) and have him suffer emotionally everytime a Bitch that lives close by is having a Season...........I mean NO man likes to be Frustrated now do they!

Let me just say something here .......You were rude to me.....Buddy's Parents commented on this and your reply to her was about people calling others Barbaric for Cropping.
Not once during this whole thread have i said it is Barbaric/Cruel....whatever!!
Just that i don't agree on doing the crop/doc unless it is for a Medical reason.
You really cannot compare Cropping a dogs ears to look good (Not the ones done for Medical reasons) to Spay/Neuter that is done for more reasons than that.
Many people here will agree and others won't.........I think personally this is going to be one of those threads that go on forever.

How is it less of an ordeal?
For starters, male castration is over and done with in a few minutes, and is non invasive and heals quickly.
Female spaying - yes, more invasive, but once it's done, it's done. Healing for a week or so and then back to normal.
Cropping - general anesthetic, in terms of how far the scalpel has to travel - a huge area of cut, a huge area to scar.
Then WEEKS of aftercare, it is a part of the body that will be knocked often. Taped up - risk of infections..
It just isn't even comparable.. Like going in for gall stones, or breast implants.
