Male Dogs Being FixedIt's typically believed they become more docile and possibly less energetic. AnswerI asked my vet this question not too long ago regarding my male German Shepherd, Luger. He can be extremely aggressive around other dogs and people that he does not know. However, I wanted a guard dog and continue to work with him on what's acceptable, what is considered a threat, etc. I also have a female German Shepherd, however, she is quite docile - although she has her moments. Anyway, back to your question. I asked my vet if Luger would get less aggressive after being fixed. Her reply was that it depends on a number of factors, including the breed, the handler, the home environment, etc. Some dogs do become more docile. The best advice is to discuss the specifics with your vet.

ANSWER

I have had multiple dogs in my lifetime. I have NEVER seen anything but good come from having a dog fixed. Specifically, I'm thinking of my last three dogs, an Old English sheepdog who was unaltered at 5 years of age when I got him. I immediately had him fixed. He was the best guard dog I ever had! Also, my labrador, who I had fixed at 4 months of age. He is a fantastic guard dog! I have no doubt that he would kill anyone who tried to harm me. I also have a Britney Spaniel who was a wussy, lovey dog when I got him, had him fixed, he's still a wussy, lovey dovey dog. It has more to do with the personality of the dog than anything else.

Why do male dogs sniff a woman's crouch?

They still may have the urge after being fixed if the female is in heat, or goes into heat. Just because the male is fixed, doesn't mean he has lost the urge, or can't do it any more. All that has been removed is his nuts and sperm. Therefore, the male and female can still mate and get locked up, but can not get pregnant unless it is recently after the male has been fixed and he still has a little bit of sperm in his system.

Can a male dog hump a female dog and still penetrate if they are both fixed?

Yes. Only the testicles on the male have been removed, not the penis. Penetration will still happen, as the male dog can still maintain an erection. There is just no sperm production. Indeed, neutered male dogs can maintain an erection, penetrate a female and actually achieve orgasm, and will "tie" with the female. Most neutered males are less interested in sex due to lowered testosterone levels, but still capable of all the actions. They simply do not produce sperm and cannot impregnate a female.
