The effects of getting your dogs fixed is that you will have healthy, happy, longer living pets. If you don't spay/neuter your dogs, males can get testicular and prostate cancer, it prevents them from marking their territory in the house and various unecessary places, prevents them from straying when scenting a female in heat, it lowers their testosterone level making them less dominant aggressive, and are generally easier to handle. In females the benefits of spaying her is you wont have to worry about unwanted pregnancies, no messy heats, worrying about seperating the males and females in case the male mounts the female, prevents uterine cancer and lowers the risk of mammary cancer. Also a VERY common and mostly fatal problem is pyometra which happens A LOT in intact females that are not brood bitches. Pyometra happens when the female is not bred and the lining of the uterus builds up and bacteria grows in there and causes an infection. Puss builds up in the uterus and majority of the time goes unseen until it is too late and the uterus ruptures and the dog dies. I work as a vet tech so speaking from experience we get quite a lot of pyometra cases. I STRONGLY suggest you spay/neuter your dogs.
