A long time ago when I was doing obedience and schutzhund I had a dog that I used in schutzhund. While I did not want to breed him or worry about any accidents with my female. I was afraid that if I neutered him I would change him more than I wanted, so I had the vet do a vasectomy on him. Wondered if anyone else had ever done that and what the list thought about that method of sterilization as opposed to neutering .
