So I have a senior rescue dog. We think he is a Beagle/ Dachshund mix. What the vet thinks he’s about 9 years old. I was wondering if it would still be safe to have him neutered. A little bit of background. I have a Golden Retriever Male and my vet said he would make a great field dog stud from all of his qualities. He has a clean bill of health and I will be doing all OFA treating before breeding, or studding him out. I have done all of my research asked opinions of breeders I know which are by the way not backyard breeders. I know them personally and watch them breed and stud. I have my vets opinion. My Golden is in excellent shape, clean bill of health, just waiting for 2 1/2 to 3 years to get here before I have him OFA rested or before I breed or stud him to a bitch. I am looking to get a quality Golden Bitch to breed to him. I am ok with studding out but I would feel more comfortable if I knew her background, temperament, diet, routines, habits, etc. so that I could guarantee the pups I breeds quality. So if I would get a bitch I would need to have my senior dog neutered. I had a bad experience with a female dog when we had her spayed she had complications and passed away so I am very timid to have him neutered. At the same time I don’t want to be irresponsible by not neutering him and end up with a mixed bred litter. So what are you alls opinions?
Also side note I AM NOT DOIMG THIS FOR MONEY!!!! I love Golden’s and want to breed to keep quality puppies around to water fowl retrieving dogs. My dog maybe a ESA in training but he loves going duck hunting too! So I would also be breeding field dogs not show dogs. I don’t need the whole lecture about backyard breeding. I have had asked people’s opinions as well as professional’s opinions. I am following all of their guidance and instructions as well as advice. The bitch I choose will be 2/13 to 3 years old before I breed her or she has ever been bred, thoroughly checked over by my vet, as well as all the OFA testings needed. Thank you in advance.
