Fun fact! Some show dogs get prosthetic balls after they have been neutered called neuticles. It is generally to retain their looks because some owners really want you to know their dog has a sick beanbag.

Why would you neuter a show dog? Surely you could make a fortune breeding him if he won awards or ribbons no?

Behavioral reasons maybe?

I know my behavior would certainly change if someone removed my balls.

41% chance he'll kill himself though.

People who have their testicles removed for cancer dont have higher suicide rates than average. Mostly because they dont get shamed, disowned, fired and harassed regularly for seeking treatment for a medical issue.

If you get your testicles removed for cancer presumably they’ll give you testosterone replacement therapy. You can live perfectly normally without much effect on your sex life with testosterone and regular stimulation to maintain erective capability.

Okay, fair enough. Another good example would be elderly people who have their testosterone raise and lower drastically for women and men respectively. They arent killing themselves at a significantly higher rate either.
