Really????????
hmmmm... I can't resist... Men don't get depressed and moody when they get a vasectomy, in fact it appears to be the reverse in some males, lol.
All kidding aside though, I have yet to meet a male(dog) that is depressed and moody because he's missing his gonads. I really think that's an old wives tale! Neuter your dog, it's better than the possibility of prostate cancer later on in life, isn't it?

Dogs get fat because their owners don't exercise them enough.

Is that because they were neutered? Or is it because they were allowed to become lazy? Do their owners walk them and play with them much? A friend of mine had a huge male Rottie. Chester. What a beauty! Not an ounce of fat on this dog's body, because his owner was an active guy and took him everywhere (roller blading, bike riding, hiking, camping, etc...). Let's face it - what happens to us if all we do is lay around on the sofa? Same thing goes for your dog.

With proper nutrition and exercise, there is no reason for a dog to become fat after being altered. Altering doesn't change your dogs basic personality.

A vasectomy is not a neuter. I don't think too many men would be very frisky after being castrated, which is what a neuter is. |

Good point LOL. My last 3 dogs have been neutered and they do not become lazy or get fat. I never changed their routines they still had plenty of exercise and no change actually 1 there was a big change his temperment seemed to mellow but not energy level. Plus I am sure that you want to have you guy around as long as possible and this can only extend his life. They recover very quickly from it.
