I kept my Labrador intact until he was 11. He started getting tumors that the vet said were caused by testosterone. So, now he's a little lighter in the undercarriage, but he's still my bestest boy and I will continue do provide him with the best of care so he can live his best life.

yes, he's guilty but he will face no consequences

My mom got her dog a vasectomy. He then got testicular cancer and had to have them removed, but he got an extra 12 years with em.

Looking forward to when my anti-pet roommate moves out end of January. I'll have to pet sit my cousin's dog 'till he finds a pet friendly apartment, but I'm hoping to get a german shephard of my own sometime later this year or next year.

PSA: Neutering your male pets is intentionally removing the testosterone to provide a more even, predictable and calmer temperament. That's why they take the balls. Sterility is a side benefit.

I got my dog a vasectomy. My vet gave him a little tattoo to show he’d been snipped even though he still got dem balls.

Why did you decide to go with a vasectomy instead of the normal way?
InoffensivePablum
Same reason I got a vasectomy rather than having my testicles removed.

That's the Disney+ version. In the original Australian version, they are very clearly talking about a vasectomy. Subtle, but adults will know the context.

Kinda wonder why we don't do this with dogs

Not true. Lack of testosterone or androgen in human males causes health issues but boy dogs tend to live longer and avoid certain cancers when fixed compared to those that do not get the procedure. Also, humans can mostly control libido impulses while animals have ZERO control over that affecting their behavior. Dogs can be very dangerous if not fixed because it is directly connected to aggression.

Some places will do it actually. Show dogs need to be "intact" in a lot of shows but if you are done breeding them, a vasectomy is acceptable as it does not alter their appearance. Also I met a pitbull owner who was oddly proud of his dog's balls and really liked telling people that he got his dog a vasectomy so he could "keep the jewels"

Having a massive pair dangling makes dogs horny af and want to piss and dryhump on everything you own. That’s why.

Alternatively do the opposite with humans, thus removing a massive weak point.
OranjeBeered
Some places give puppies vasectomies to prevent breeding, but wait on neutering until they're older because it reduces the risk of some cancers. Castrated dogs are better behaved, especially larger dogs where humping can be non-consensual.

Generally behavioural mostly.

We don't need it to be reversible, and it's probably a less precise procedure
The latter is pure guesswork though

your answer is okay but 76000BatteryLlamas had the best answer

We want to both reduce hormones in dogs and sterilize them, otherwise they would still hump stuff and shoot blanks
aShogunNamedMarcus
Can confirm, I do both those things

With a dog?

I would 500% get rid of my balls. Absolutely. They are just in the way all the time, they make pants more uncomfortable and occasionally I sit on them. I hate man-scaping them, my wife doesn't like them so they never get any affection. They are just little cancer balls. But they do other things I need...
HandsomePenguin
After my brother got his vasectomy, my father asked him what it was like not having any balls anymore. Like with 100% genuine sincerity.
DidItForScience
Maybe your dad had a procedure he didn't tell you guys about.
idrinkcheapbeer
His understanding of the process was probably defined by Mel Brooks' "History Of The World Part One"

That 'I feel great' part is the dangerous part. So many guys don't stay still and rest as they're supposed to. The resulting swelling is brutal.
HandsomePenguin
I booked 2 days off work right before a weekend when I got mine done. Sat on the couch with a cold pack for a few days, went great.
GlennBecksChalkboard
In response, did your dad turn to you and calmly say "And this is why you are my favorite child"?
HandsomePenguin
Well no, because I told him that a vasectomy isn't the same thing as a castration, and if there is one thing my father hates worse than being wrong about something, it's being corrected.
GlennBecksChalkboard
I misread your initial post and thought your dad got the vasectomy and your brother asked how it felt to have no balls.

HandsomePenguin
What do you think I meant by 100 percent sincerity? He was not joking. He thought a vasectomy was the same thing as a castration.

I don't know how you guess that? I'm speaking facts, it was a fact that he didn't know. He wasn't playing around, he wasn't poking fun, it's a literal fact that he did not know the difference.

Does anyone in your family besides your father vote for Trump?

Fun fact, not everyone in the world is from the USA

You should know, should be reply.

I just looked at him and said. He didn't get castrated, Dad.
Whyyeah
when i was little my brother got his wisdom teeth taken out...i was genuinely worried he was coming back from the dentist , stupid (in my defense i was like 6)
Zoomoth9000
My brother used to get migraines growing up. My dad joked about getting him a head transplant. I asked him if he was serious, and he said yes, he totally was! So for months I kept wondering about the logistics of it: would they peel someone else's head off their skull and graft it over his skull? Would they replace the entire head, brain and all, making my brother a completely different person? All that time I got extremely nervous whenever my brother went anywhere with one of my parents 1/2
Zoomoth9000
because I would wonder if that was the day they were going to do the procedure, and I'd just come home to my brother's body with someone else's head, and he's have the name and memories of the other person. In my defense, I was like 10...
HandsomePenguin
That's a fair deduction for a kid to make.
BadBunnyLadyOfRocksTreesAndDirt
I keep my wisdom teeth in my gem box along with amethyst and other magic rocks, hoping I still have that wisdom despite them being not in my head anymore..? Perhaps I'm not as smart now than a know-it-all 15yo, but wise enough to be at peace with that.
