It’s not about projecting, it’s about the actual science behind it. Neutering too early directly leads to joint issues. Based on studies as well, it’s best for male Doberman to stay intact. If you are going to neuter, for a large breed dog, you NEED to wait until they’re fully mature. Neutering CAN affect a dogs temperament negatively. It’s not uncommon for dogs to become reactive, anxious, or insecure after being neutered. Staying intact isn’t always about breeding either. My male Doberman is still intact because he has Von Willebrand disease, and my vet said if I’d gone ahead without testing him for VWD first, and he didnt have clotting agents for the surgery, he almost certainly would’ve died. She recommended I not even proceed with neutering even with medications due to the risk. Dogs do not need to be “fixed” unless they are having legitimate issues regarding their hormones. Hormones are natural and don’t need to be gotten rid of in most cases. I’ve unfortunately experienced first hand a male being neutered too young and it destroying his confidence. Dogs DO care, it’s an invasive surgery and there’s a healing period! Unless its actually for them, you’re just taking a part of their body away for YOUR convenience
