My GSD, Molly, is spayed, and is perfectly healthy and fine.My other GSD, Tanner is neutered, and is perfectly healthy and fine.We don't have either dog in a kennel or pen, they have a nice backyard to play in and relax and the house.We have french doors, but we let our dogs outside by themselves.If we lived in open acres and a big farm, then yeah we would be watching them.Its not only "the got out and got knocked up" exuse,its also some people have 2 dogs, a male and female, and neither are fixed, then come a oops litter.Also, some people may take their dog to a dog beach or dog park and their dog isnt fixed, and while at that dog park or beach, they see another dog that isnt fixed, they get frisky and oops here come the puppies.Some people brush it off as showing dominance, and in some cases it is and some cases it isnt.
Its someone's choice if they choose to spay/neuter their dog.I thank god we did!When I walk Molly, people will compliment her, I say thank you, and they ask "Is she fixed?". I respond "No." Sometimes, they say "Oh ok. Just wondering, because I have a male German Shepherd." Or some just walk away.And I dont think the Germand Shepherd breed will die out anytime soon, in reference to someone else's comment.
The shelter I work at provides financial aid to those who can't afford the surgery for spay/neuter.And every animal there gets check ups and is eventually spayed and neutered.
But it is someone's choice whether or not they spay/neuter their dogs.All my dogs have been fixed and nothing was wrong with them.They lived long, happy healthy lives.If someone chooses not to fix their dogs, then thats them, let them take their chances, they are doing what they think is best for their dog or dogs.
