    Castrated males can successfully mate & "tie" with a b!tch. It's not unusual. The only difference is that there are no pups later.

    The urge to breed is hardwired & while removing the testes may lessen this, it doesn't prevent it.

    Testicular cancer is rare in dogs.
    Always try to be at least half the person your dog thinks you are!

    As said above....humping isn't generally a sexual act.

    If you dont mind spending extended periods of time walking the streets looking for your dog when it has picked up a !!!!! scent, then neutering is not for you.
    Be happy...;)

    And at a young age?

    My boy hasn't even so much as got his winkle out let alone hump anything, he was neutered at 6 months and didn't do it before he was neutered either.

    Sorry to sound skeptical, but do you have a link to more information? I'm wondering where the testosterone would be coming from.

    No link, but I can assure you it can and does happen.
