Don't worry about it; cuts down on roaming (for the ladies); reduces the risk of unwanted CSA deductions, 'unwanted behaviours' such as marking or humping, and testical/prostate cancer; also stops benign hyperplasia (enlargement) that occurs with aging.

I cried when my first lad went in - not sure why. When he came out, he skulked around the house disorientated and disinterested. He didn't want to come and sit by my feet as he does every other night and I felt full of guilt. The next day he was a litte woozy but by day 2 he was back to normal and has never thought about it again.
I'm sure yours could just sense your apprehension/tension and so was unsure. Just remember he will still be feeling the effects of the anaesthetic later and may be a little sore but will be back to normal in no time.

Don't bet on it - my nine year old (done at six months) humps his bed to death ,and marks everywhere outside(never inside ,anywhere) - if I stand still to chat to other dog owners ( to give him a chance to socialise) -he'll let me know he's ha enough - by then it's time to keep an eye on him or get marked .No one else is safe- or could it be him telling us that he's had enough standing around "let's get on with the walk".And he's not lost his "eye" for the ladies - just the instinct .I'll admit it, I never did my first boy until he started scent marking everywhere in the house. Tried everything - sprays, sticking tin foil on his usual 'spots' so he got splash-back, numerous others, it really was the last resort...
After educating myself on the health benefits and getting involved with a rescue, boys 2 and 3 got done at 6 months.
road hog - how's the pooch?

After being involved in certain rescue organisations, i always get a grump on with owners of male dogs that don't think they should neuter them because their a 'bloke' and its 'less manly', you wouldn't do it yourself. Proper winds me up, irresponsible owners! There a dog and if there a pet, they don't need them and won't realise they are gone anyway.
Its the same with b
hes, owners think that its better to let them have a litter to experience it, as its 'not fair' they don't. Stupid!
We used to receive 'Dogs trust' vouchers for free neutering/spaying, every rescue we would get in always had their nuts/bits still - first thing we would do is get them down the vets to be done.
Anyway, well done for making the important decision to neuter, its better for your dog, he'll be heathier for it.
