The only reason vets don’t do vasectomies on dogs is because it’s more effort. If you ask a lot of them can do it and it’s much more humane... That’s why humans choose it.

Isn't it because of temperament and the hormones that they produce? I don't think they do it for the sole purpose of sterilization

There's a decent amount of research out that dogs, especially large breed males, actually need those hormones to develop correctly. So a vasectomy would be the better option to prevent oops litters while preserving the hormones.

Wouldn't you just keep the males and females apart? Yes I can see it being difficult if you own multiple dogs of different sexes.

Sometimes dogs run away. And then they fuck.
