His testicles are in your hands ...

I'd be asking why you shouldn't rather than why you should. Unless you intend to breed there's really no need for them. He's at an age of still developing, so while it may lead to a personality change, so could leaving them.
In summary, yes, dog and cat lover and owner.

Interesting reading this, me and my girlfriend are looking at getting a dog after Christmas, and this very conversation came up, she thinks on a springer spanial it would need to be done to stop it humping everything.
We would be looking to get a puppy, would this make a difference?

leave them alone.
the poor blighter needs to spread his seed once in a while
Once is enough.
Do it, we had out Staffy done not long after we got him but every so often he'll wake up with an erection and he has no idea what the hell is going on. Was quite funny the first time till I realised he was actually quite upset over the whole thing.
If we hadn't got him done, we could have let him breed which due to the size of him could have made us a fair bit of money, but with the amount of staffys that end up in the RSPCA and the like, we didn't think it was very fair.

Definitely get him chopped. Absolutely no question about it.
It'll be better for his health, less likely to pick up desieses from dirty b*****s. My one year old pup had his off a few weeks ago, he's not lost his spark at all, if anything it's improved his temprement. Less agressive towards other dogs, doesn't pull as much on the lead, he'll now come back when he's called etc.
He wouldn't talk to me for a few days but he soon got over it.

Only if it's causing any issues. If you regulary see any bitches that are not spayed, then it might be worth doing to stop any issues.
The mating thing every six months? Never heard that before tbh. From what I've heard, it's only if they have mated before then have the urge to do it again as such.
I have an un-neatured dog and a spayed bitch.
EDIT: Might stop his drippy dong if he has one.

Yes, id only let him keep his bits if you intend to breed from him. Dog lover btw, though ive got nothing against cats. Seeing him with that cuppa next to him mate seems a bit strange, surely it should be a tin of harp.
Well mate looks like he's taking this badly, this is how I found him this morning..
