Hey there, I know this is kaaayyy late... lol. I have a male intact boxer that is 9. Never had a single issue with behavior. He is not aggressive. He comes when he's called. He doesn't try to get out of the yard. He doesn't mount EVER. He is the best dog I have ever owned.
Intact vs neutered
Was just curious if any members on here have had male boxers left intact their entire lives.
Reason I ask, is because I saw research involving boxers where they recommended waiting till full skeletal maturity and less instances of common boxer issues. So I'm at the point of where I was going to get him neutered and I'm thinking what is the point.
Iv'e heard all the warnings of, aggression, dominance, mounting, etc. and I can say Zuke has none of those issues.
So is there really any reason to get it done? Because it sounds like the benefits of staying intact out way neutering.

Haha yeah. Thanks! I was searching info on boxers because my lad had a growth on his tail and the vet wants to neuter him. It's not cancer. She says its because of testosterone. I don't know what to do. I really don't want to neuter him.
