Spay and Neuter Your Pit Bulls

I find that it is very important that dogs that aren't meant to be bred (IE non-champion bloodline) and dogs that aren't going to be bred (typically pure human want not to breed), should be spayed or neutered. There are so many reasons as to why you should spay or neuter your pit bull that you really need to take into consideration.

Spaying Your Female Dog



Neutering Your Male Dog



Of the many reasons as to why you should spay and neuter your Pit Bull, here are just a few of them.

1. Pit Bulls already have a bad reputation, and by breeding "pit bulls" that are not of champion lines, you're probably not doing the breed any favors by releasing more puppies that may have bad temperaments bc you don't really know the full bloodline.
2. If you don't spay your female Pit Bull, you may end up with an unwanted mix-breed litter, which means more "pit bulls" are released into the public, which means the higher potential for mishap since you don't know the other dog's lineage and temperament.
3. Pit Bulls are already one of the most pupular dog breeds out there, which means there are tons of them whereever you look, and by having one more litter, you're putting more puppies out there who can have puppies and more puppies, etc. which can in turn create a worse reputation becuase you just don't know what all of hte puppies are doing.
4. It's just healthier for the dog to be spayed or neutered. You are preventing other illnesses, or at least lessening the risk for other illnesses and complications.
5. You are reducing the amount of estrogen and testosterone that your dog has running through his/her body, which means less chance for temperament problems, given that you have and are socializing and training the dog.

There are other reasons, but these alone should be enough to want to get your dog spayed or neutered. I mean if you really love your Pit Bull and you really love the breed, you'll do it.
